Default This sucks, it will be slow going from here...

I was looking over my "Wishlist" today and it seems that all the things I have left to do to my bike cost a lot of $$$. I guess the mods will come slower from here on out.

95" Big Bore Kit w/ upgraded cams and head work - $$$
Chrome Controls - $350.00
Chrome Frontend w/ Nacelle- $700.00 (parts only)
Lightbar - $260.00 (not too bad, but will only do this after the frontend is done)
Custom Paint Job
Carlini Flyin Apes - 16" - $350 + cost of new cables/brake line
Chrome Brake Calipers w/ SS rear brake line

Still considering lowering the rearend with the Burnout Kit, so that will be relatively inexpensive.

I'm in the same boat. Everything I'm wanting to do or change out is gonna cost big bucks for me too. I have yet to find the Lowes or Home Depot that sells the seeds for money trees. If someone knows where these seeds can be found, please let me know. A mature money tree would be even better.

only have tires(avons) and wheels(rims) left oh and pulley oh and floating rotors. that alone there for the top notch stuff will run me 4k or so together


the nacelle is 500 but can get at zaonittis or such for 20% less
lowers and cowbells arnt too bad..300 or so and the fork oil drain screws and fork seals and fork oil :P
get the top 2 done and you will be real happy until you can afford the bars, controls and cables

chrome controls will run you 400 or so from a discount place
bars will run 250 or so
cables wont run you too much.. suggest chromite II cables 40-70-100ish.

Yeah, the front end components and light barare my next projects.I also have the HD garage door opener I need to install. After the nacelle I will make my decison on whether to change bars or not. Chrome controls will follow. Engine work and custom paint are not certain at this point. I may eventually do wheels, rotors, pulley, etc. as well, but that's a ways off.

On the positive side, anything you do now will make a very noticeable improvement to an already nice bike.
