Let's see. I got my bike for about $2200. '06 636 with a rebuilt title and some crunchy parts, but sound.
About $200 in materials to build my steel frame, $50-75 for the cage, $90 ish for the subframe/ roundbar. Maybe $30 to redo the rear seat. I think I spent somewhere around $300 for the handbrake master, lines, and reservoirs. $60 for a set of front calipers that I used one for the handbrake. $30 for the big rotor off ebay. I'd say around $100 for all the aluminum I've carved up for the top triple, rotor adapter, and brake bracket. $120 ish IIRC for a new chain and sprocket set... $120 for the headlight. That's all I can remember off the top of my head...
That's about $3400 probably closer to $3600 with all the little stuff I'm forgetting. that I've spent on my baby this year. Ain't that bad at all I think. It ain't the purdiest bike out there, but it's a solid stunt machine, at least for my skill level. If you trade the months of effort I've put into building all of my parts, you end up saving a pretty big chunk of change.
