Default Been on a spending spree this month

Well early this summer i wrecked my F4i. so i had to buy a bunch of parts to fix
forks, upper, left/right side fairing/rim/brake lines/tire and some other misc stuff..that right there set me back a pretty penny. but while i was in the mood of spending and buying stuff for my bike i just picked this stuff up this month

-Arai Rx-7 Corsair "Matsudo" Helmet
-Devil High Mount Carbon Fiber
-Dark Smoke Double Bubble Screen
-Rear Fender Hugger
-A set of front and rear stands
-and the real shitty part is some how during the wreck my motor seized so i had to buy a new motor.

But im happy with everything i baught; the exhaust looks sick, and i love the helmet its so comfy and everything else is pretty cool.

Just cant wait to get it all together and start finally riding again its been about 3 months. Hopefully will have it done here soon, i'll keep u guys posted.

Sooo, just to get your bike up and running how much did you spend? Couldn't you have gotten a new bike?

It sounds like you basically had to replace your frontend, forks, rim, brake lines etc, did you get stock F4i stuff? Is it possible for a 600rr (05) frontend to bolt on there?

Well i was stupid and i cut my insurance from full coverage to liab about 3 weeks from the wreck so they wouldnt cover it
Here what i paied for parts

Upper: $100
Left and Right Side Fairing $175
Forks and rim $325
Tire (a set race take off from a friend) $75
Brake Lines $20
Oils and misc $50
Motor w/ 3000miles: $600
so just the stuff to fix the bike is about: $1400 most parts are used but all in great condition and fairings match the same color as bike (except the upper i need to get painted)

and the other stuff cost
Arai: $480
Hugger: $50
DB screen: $60
Devil Exhaust: $340
And set of Lockheart phillip stands: $125 front and rear new (dealer cost)
so that stuff cost about: $1100

so total i spent about 2500. but that includes all the extras and a nice helmet
