Judging by the pictures, this is not a foregone conclusion. |

Hey,
From experince i would say the best thing to do is ring around scrap yards and get quotes for all the bits you need. Bandits seem plentiful thses days so i doubt you'll have trouble finding what you need.
Once you have all the quotes add it all together and decide if the amounts worth paying, or if its more economical to buy another bike. I know you said that u don't want to lend money, but thats what parents are for
Its very easy to buy lots of bits then repair the bike, but spend a fortune in the process. I've just spent £1200 on my GPZ400r which will be worth £500 max when i come to sell it.
Cheers,
Shaun. |
