Man the numbers you guys are throwing out there, You could buy a welder and a grinder and make your own shit and still come out ahead.
Heres my list:
$2400 - 03 636 pretty much stock except for race rails and a carbon muzzy pipe. Close to mint condition.
-$550 - Sold fairings and other plastic pieces that I would otherwise just break
-$100 - sold the pipe
- $50 - Sold the oem clipons
- $20 - Sold the oem brake rotor
So that brings me down to $1680 for a clean title unstunted stripped 636. Now to build it upt he mikem Way - cheap.
$1680
+$100 - traded my race rails and a hundred bucks for a tygershark
+$100 - used OMR
+ $30 - zx11d rotor off ebay
+ $20 - traded my oem rear master for an old school billet FTI
+ $20 - used stock pipe
Up to $1950 so far, and thats the last $$ I spent on build up parts
Home made stuff:
Made my own caliper bracket - easiest bike ever
Made my own rearsets - easiest bike ever
Made my own rad cage - for the amount of time i spent, I should bought one when dcp had em on sale.
Made my own scrape bar
Made my own tank lip
Made my own rear shock spacer/ignition bracket combo
Extended my clutch arm myself
The money saved right there is enough to buy a beginner mig welder, grinder and a small drill press.
Vortex clipons, Brembo 16x16, and MSR easy pull from my old bike. Recycling = winning.
Total - $1950 plus a dozen hours in the shop.
