Spending Money

Picked up my other donor yesterday. It's a 2002 Yamaha R1 that was wrecked in the front shortly after the original owner bought it. It sat around for awhile, and then someone tried to put it back together as a trackbike, so it's got new forks, a new radiator, new clip ons, and other misc stuff. It also came with 2 spare wheels, a rear axle, and an extra undertail. The bike is supposed to have 1200 original miles, but since the gauges are missing, I'm just going to have to take the guy's word for it. It's mostly complete, but it's missing a steering stem and a fuel pump, so it doesn't run, and even if it did, it's probably not prudent to ride it. All the better.

The plan is to use the engine, wiring harness, ECU, ignition, etc from the bike and sell off everything else. My garage is starting to look like a junkyard.

Update

Quick update, just been working on the frame, adding bars. I've almost got a complete basic chassis to work with. After I buy a differential and engine, I can start designing the engine mounts and diff mount and rear suspension. Not much more to say here. It doesn't look like a lot of work has been done since the last pictures of the frame, but believe me, there has.
