i spent $2050 total on parts. $450 was spent on craigslist for the tank with pump and sender and caps, 2 fenders and dash. $800 of it was spent on powdercoating the frame, fork lowers, struts,forward control mounts, air cleaner cover, primary cover, rockers, cam cover, oil tank, engine mounts, horn, engine covers etc. i had the pipes jet coated (also a powder coat). $800 more for misc items ordered from vtwin and drag. i bought gaskets for motor reassembly, a rear tire, pegs, headlight, power commander, air filter, fluids, plugs, oil filter, engine paint, all new chrome bolts, under lower tree billet turn signal bar, LED tailight, lowering kit, front rim with 1" axle. i also traded my 99 EVO softail in even trade on this bike. i had around 5 grand into the EVO. i estimate my investment between 7-8 thousand. the bike looks brand new. ill include closer pictures this weekend.
