Welp, I sold my trusty 98 F3 last week, and went to the auction in Indianapolis with the owner of the dealer I work at. I picked up a '05 600RR that apparently was stripped by the owner, and then repo'd. I'm 90% sure it still had clean break-in oil in it, and since the cluster is missing, im not really sure on the milage. It's missing some pieces, but I've found most all of it on eBay.. I think im watchin like 34 items, haha.. I found some scratched up fairings at work that had been replaced and were just sitting around collecting dust, and sent those off to my painter. As far as bodywork goes, I still need a tank cover, left middle, and lower fairing. It's getting painted all black, and I think I'm either gonna go with flat black graphics and decals. Still kinda undecided.. I'll update this thread as the project moves forward, and I've set a deadline for completion for May 24th..

Welp, I didnt make my deadline, due to a deadbeat ebayer. My passenger's seat never got shipped, but other than I have all the parts for it. All the plastics got painted, but the painter decided to repaint the tail and tank after a couple of blems were discovered. After everything, I have just under $5000 into the bike total. Within a couple weeks it's getting a 520 conversion, Dunlop Qualifiers, and braided brake lines. I havent even plated it yet, and already it has a Ti Yosh RS-5, Hotbodies flushies and a CA taillight. I still need to make a tag mount, and I think I might send out the case covers, pillion pegs, and possibly the swingarm out for satin black powdercoat, since its still apart, and I prolly wont plate it till Jun17.
