Kawasaki

Ok, so the money is almost here to continue with the KZ1000. Which is good because there's now been a $4000 bid on the Triumph T100 which means that it will for sure not be mine any longer. I just hope it goes for more than that, Kelly Blue Book value is close to $6000 and it has over $1000 in performance parts added on. But I need the money to settle the lawsuit, so, well I need the money, and I have no other options. 

So I wrote up a list of the parts I need for the KZ.

Acid for the battery.

Eight 8mm nuts and washers so that I can fasten the exhaust.

Headlight Rim $21

Headlight $6

Points assembly $50

Bolt Set $27

Tensioner? $51

Engine oil $30

Speedo Cable $13

Tach Cable $13

CSS Lock Washer $4

Spark Plugs $9

Timing Light $64

Carb Bolts $3.50

Tank Rubber $3

Turnsignals $34

Signal Stems $14.50

That said.... We're trying to be smarter about things, so what I need.. 

Battery Acid $10

Exhaust Nuts $8

Ignition Kit $18.26

Bolt Set $27

Engine Oil $30

Speedo Cable $13

Tach Cable $13

Spark Plugs $9

Timing Light $64

Tank Rubber $3

So the bike won't be as pretty because it will have this monstrous fairing on the front, but that saves me a boat load in turn signals, headlight parts... I don't need an all new Points set up, I just need the rebuild kit. I don't think I need the tensioner. 

The trick is that this idea will leave me a couple hundred bucks left over just in case something else needs replaced. That's the key here. To do it smart.
