My cousin just got this Doodlebug with a 110cc Lifan and 4speed running, and I got to ride it today and I must say, Im impressed as all heck! Though I think it needs a few tweaks, like a steering dampener since it gets sketchy over 40, but overall its a super fun ride. It's a mostly stock DB30 frame with custom mounts, CRF50 exhaust, 35t sprocket, and a shortened Buell Blast clutch setup. He might sell it or build it a bit more, what do you think something like this is worth?

sounds like an awesome custom Doodlebug!
but for valuation... custom builds are tough, man. He's probably got way more into it than he'll get out of it, unfortunately.
A fair price is whatever someone's willing to pay for a fun, unique toy like that. But yeah, sounds like a riot to ride!

I understand this totally, and yes I agree.
 
That setup sounds like a blast...like literally, you're probably looking at something in the $700 to $1000 range depending on local demand, maybe more if it's super clean and sorted
 
Yeah, that sounds about right. For a solid, clean 110cc DB30 in good shape, $700 to $1000 seems fair to me. Are you thinking of upgrading or just curious about the market value?
