Not sure if im on the right section but owell...
So im looking to buy an R1 obviously and have wanted to buy a project so I can build it up my way. Put the pieces I want on it and so forth...
Do you guys think buying the frame and subframe (clean and straight) and building up from there will be a huge hassel? not tooooo hard? (i have plenty of tools and experience with cars) save money? gimme the low down on what ill be getting into if I go this route..
What I was planning...
Get a salvage bike or totaled
Not gonna touch the motor (only make sure it works and mount it up)
Put on aftermarket suspension, forks, lighting, power commander, intake and such...
bolts, plastics, fairings, brakes, and all could be swapped or easily replaced.
