interesting mate thanks for the info. Something i may consider one day is retrofitting the APRC but i think ill just focus on getting as quick as i can on a stock bike before i start to rely on modifications and TC. Would be nice though.Originally Posted by Marshy
The advantage of having a shed full of the same model bikes, plus building them up from a bare frame or a bare motor, is that you end up with a lot of spares. So it hasn't cost me an absolute fortune (although it's not cheep cheep either) because I've either already had or sourced cheaply many of the more expensive components. That said, there's still a fair list of bits I've bought new (or if I'm totally honest, some I have 'borrowed' off one of the other bikes until the new parts arrive). Anecdotally, it usually costs ~$1k to $1.5k to retrofit, but it depends also on whether your 09/10 dash is the old or the new version. Mine was the new version (meaning I didn't need to buy a dash too), but Breesey's was the old version. If it's got a sidestand light, it's the old one....
I've lost count.... there are 4 in the workshop right now, but 2 of those have just been sold. I've built 3 or 4 others that have previously been sold. That's in the past 18 months. But mostly they are build projects, not my toys.
wow so many temperamental Italians....good to know theres an expert out there like you though
