Who said FJR's don't do dirt?
Dayum dude! I'm not even keepin track or I might cry!Dang Ray, that's some FUGLYNINESS going on there..
Great job and keep going!
How many USD into the project so far? I need to benchmark the KZ1300 Quacker (your next project bike!) :lol:
It's not that bad, I figure at the end of this I'll be in about a grand. I'm doing some upgrades at the same time, so it's not that bad of a price.
~$30 - Dremel bits - can't really count this since I've still got the tools for other uses
~$100 - Misc Tooling - Same here
~$50 - Gaskets
~$70 - Ignition upgrade
$120 - Brake lines
$90 - Fork Brace
$400 - Fork rebuild and progressive springs (Figured I'd leave this one to the pros)
$100 - Thinkin I'ma need a new battery soon
Everything else should be minor on the dollar side. I actually haven't been keeping track, these are just the things I remember and the approximate costs. I've saved a ton by refurbishing instead of replacing in a lot of places. With proper care, gaskets can be re-used without leaks, etc.
Mostly time involved so far. Most of the stuff on the bike is in super shape for a 30 year old ride. 90% of the stuff is coming back with nothing more than a good cleaning. There's a few things that I may repair that don't 'need' repairing, like one of the side case covers is gouged fairly bad but is still functional.
