At times like these one has to think out of the box. You've got the gun-use it to rob a drug dealer or a politician. Its a win-win. If you get away with it and survive you can keep the gun and pay for the mods too.

I like the way you think. However this gun specifically isn't exactly for robbing. It's more of a phone call from a kilometer away and tell them to wire you some money... But I like the way you think.

Rob a bank. Because fck banks.

My thought is this: Do the stuff you have to do while it's broken down, but the rest might be fun to do piecemeal. Little weekend projects (or weekday if you're single!). Plus, you might see something you like better next weekend.

But I have no patience, so if it was an option, I'd have fully customized bike the first night.

That last part is my problem. No patience. And I'm single and a fireman. So I have a lot of time off. I've looked in the garage 3 times today just staring at it broken down and waiting for the call from the powder coater. Who told me I might have it back by St party's day.

So got an update. I got a hell of a price through my dealer. Mom and pop dealer in Columbia SC. Amazing. Greg at Capital City cycles is awesome. Got me a hell. Of a deal and came in about 1500 cheaper than what I expected. I'm gonna save the rear end for another time but everything else I wanted is getting done. Will post up pictures soon.

Its a no brainer if you have a vision and you have the money do it all at once if money is the issue then in stages good luck

I would do it all at once, at least for the wow factor and personal satisfaction. I did mine all at once and got a better deal on parts since I placed a large order in the off season.

Thats exactly what I did. I was priced for front and rear wheel. Rotors. Pulley. No tire for $2023 from an unnamed website. Capital city got me all that plus metz tires for $1740 and matched all the other parts.

I'm a cash guy. So mods happen when the cash is in hand.
