I think the pans are a little more desirable. I've been off one for too long and I dont know if I want a project thats gonna take me 2yrs to finish. I'm thinking abot buying it and trying to trade it for a 1200 sporty maybe, something a little beat. I have a machine shop at my disposal so customizing one is easy enough
