Hi ChristoT,
Good luck with this, ive just done a similar thing with an R1 I picked up for £500, the only cost I got wrong was the price of missing nuts n bolts , cost me about £100, so don't lose anything and keep an eye on ebay as breakers sometimes sell all the hardware from the bikes they have broken quite cheap and most Yamaha stuff is similar.
You can get a good paint finish with rattle cans if you take your time and do the prep work
