yeh, last battery was 50bucks, can get bushings from milson metals for 10bucks and little bit of latheing probly, seals not sure of dia, but probly 30bucks, also the reg is on hold and wof has expired, and prolly needs a good tune but can check that out before sorting the rest.

don't have enough money atm, they are bout $250 bucks i think, and if i'm doing a new headlight i may as well do a new instrument cluster with rear view cam (mirror emliminator) and if im' doing a rear view cam I may as well do a tail tidy, and if i'm doing a tail tidy i may as well re-route the exhaust, and while i'm re-routing it i may as well change the can for a straight through one, and while i'm doing that I shud re-jet it, and if i re-jet it i may as well go all out and run pods or free-er flowing airbox, and swap the fuel pump for a vacuum one. And if I'm increasing the engines power i should probably do a top end rebuild, check cam chains etc. Oh, did I mention this would all be after I add a linkange to the swingarm so I can run a cbr600f4 shock, and replace the forks with zxr400 ones, and mx bars to go with.

this shit just snowballs up really quick, awesome ain't it

if you got a v8 why would you want to get a shitbox nana car?
