What should I do?
I'm sittin here lookin at the cherry f4i I bought for 5 G's a few months ago. I stunt the **** out of my crf450, but I want to rock some **** on the f4i too. I already made some street pegs, stunt pegs, custom 60T sprocket ( haven't installed it yet ) and I want to build a streetfighter out of it. Now I am thinkin I should have bought a salvaged bike or somthing, thinkin about choppin the tail and building a round bar, bashin the tank in, strippin the plastic and fabricating a custom crash cage. Everytime I start to wrench on it, I can't get past how cherry the bike is 
Anyone else stunt out a minty fresh bike? Should I by a used tank and keep the cherry stuff on a shelf if I want to re sell it?

Re: What should I do?
umm hey, any close ups of those pegs? i need a left pass one...
2 choices, either sell it, and buy a salvage and have enough left over to buy all the stunt parts, and have cash left over, or strip it down, buy a stunt tank and tail.. make/buy cage and other ****, and then when u're ready, if it's not mangled, throw plastics back on sell

I couldn't find a cheap bike when I was lookin, and I wanted a clean one to start out with, not one that was all mangled. ****, I might just go for it like DEBO said. There are never any bike for sale were I live anyway, I looked for months before this one popped up and still had to drive to santa barbra to get it.

i said the same thing, but when a wheeli.e went bad on the intersate, i tried to make it look good again but it was never the same, so to hell with it, pulled everything off, installed some parts and started slowing down my ****

Re: What should I do?
Look been here myself... well I didn't pay S**t for mine.. traded a car for it , but I toom all the minty stuff off and got extra bashed stunt stuff.. fixed them the best possible and put them on.. I always pick up slightly rashed parts around here. Not to many stunters so when someone drops it easy and decides they need new peices I pick up the old ones for free or dirt cheap. Unfortuantly my tank got dented before I could get a stunt piece.. so all I am missing is a tank, but stunt it till it's trashed and reinstall clean plastics.. then sell... just do it.......

but since you work at a machine shop......
