I can buy a new 2008 black one for $327 and then sell the red for $200 or so. I doubt that I could find someone who could paint the tank for under $127 (labor + paint/etc).


I wish I could finish it this weekend.
I'll probably just install all the cosmetic accessories, separate the headlight housing, and attach the fork brackets.

Still need to paint the fairing and order the gas tank. I have a lot of soldering, heatshrinking, and wirewrapping to do also. Fun, fun, fun.

Oh my bad sorry I must have been high last night when reading... your list makes sense now

That's definitely the best way to go about the tank... I should have done the same thing

Make sure you test all the eletrical before you heatshrink/wirewrap the whole shiznet
