A grand to paint a bike... unless there is a lot of repair work i'd want something pretty special for that amount.

Good chance that would have been from me :thumbup:

They very rarely come on the market, i waited for god knows how many years before managing to snap that one up off BSM only to never make use of it and had to sell it a few months after getting it

If anyone finds a cure for over spending with their bike please let me know !! My bike is just as bad as a GF, takes up my time at the weekend and keeps emptying my wallet !!

Doesn't mind:
If you have more than one at a time..
If you don't ride it in a while..
Being locked up in garage..
If your mate wants a ride..

Can have a threesome with it..
Needs pipes cleaning out less..
Doesn't take you for every penny if you decide to get rid..
Don't have to talk to it after a hard day at work..
Can get your leg over it whenever takes your mood..
Petrol is cheaper than perfume..

Redthunder, aren't you listing those mods backwards? I gotta figure you want to do suspension first, everything else second. Go then show? Huge change in the personality of the bike with just a little suspension work.

Just my 2 cents.

Attention should be put on the CCT's, Shim check while you're at it

Then the Rectifier as this could pack in at any given time and leave you stranded at 3am in a sh1t hole town

Then the Brakes (New Fluids, Braided Hoses and Pads etc)

Air Filter, Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Coolant, Plugs

Carb Sync

Shock Linkage Repacking with fresh grease

Then Suspension work particularly if its got some miles on it as that rear shock is well past its best in no time at all

Double bubble Screen

Headlight Light upgrades

Throttle position Sensor

Quick throttle or Throttle Spacer Mod

Stick coils

Then all the other wonderful mods that will get you hooked like Air Box modding, Carb tinkering

Clutch and Springs

Bling rear ends like Braced Swing arms

Putting together a USD front slowly and as cheaply as you can taking your time to acquire the parts

rearsets

etc etc etc

i don't think it ever stops,

there was a lot i didn't get to finish on mine
