Project Fazer: The build thread

[nick crisp]

Hate to be a damp squib, but someone's gotta say it...


Insurers are going to give you a hard enough time already what with being young, no ncb and a claim. They're going to be even more unwilling to give you an affordable deal if presented with a long modifications list.
Wouldn't it be better to get the thing rebuilt as close to OE spec as possible?
I can certainly see the appeal of this engineering project, but it could easily turn into a money pit after it's up and running. At least with a standard bike you have something saleable… the market for a mucked-about-with bike is pretty limited unless your name is Arlen Ness.

Been thinking this since you first mentioned Fazer Project. You've already said you can't afford to insure another standard Fazer. What are you doing about finding yourself a decent income? I think that would be my priority in your position. I'm not outright saying you're doing completely the wrong thing - you're a pretty bright cookie, and I wish you luck with whatever you take on, but would a touch of realism not be a wiser path right now? Seems like you are trying to spend money you just don't, and won't, have.
