'it's a motorbike, the cost is never minimal'
[/size]
Oddly enough in my case it kind of 'is', because the money is already spent.
I bought my Fazer in 2001, and then on an impulse bought another Y reg 2001 Fazer with a few hundred miles on the clock in 2003.
That Y reg Fazer is still sat in the garage with a few hundred miles on the clock posing as a shelf with a sheet.
I would be cannibalising a virtually new (unused) bike, which I suppose is a bit mad, but everything I need is there, and It's already paid for.
I realise that the virtually new Fazer, has a value now, and would be worthless at the end of the project, but I wouldn't actually have to go out and buy any parts.
I suppose I would probably have powder coating the frame, coolant, oil and brake fluid to pay for, and possibly tyres, (the tyres date back to 2001 like the bike).
O.K. it's not minimal, you're right.
