Heck, I'd gladly go to a pro and pay triple that - at ~$2500 total you'd still be way ahead of the game...

But really, they were relatively simple. I had my 1991 Honda ST1100 down to frame and bottom and and a pretty full half of a 2-car garage floor filled with carefully laid out parts and thought, WHAT have I gotten myself into?? Actually got it all back together, with only one small problem - a little bit of rag got left behind in an oil return hole, so the oil, having nowhere to go, spewed out under the RH cylinder head soaking my boot with some pretty warm oil (thank goodness for the built-in fairing). And, I had not gotten too far from the house, obviously. The side of the road repair was interesting but I digress...

I stayed for the punch line - $1,300 for a kit........ I would rather pay for an authentic than try to build one and end up with toothpicks.

Haha. Yea I couldn’t do it either. But the idea of buying the kit and paying a luthier to assemble isn’t a bad idea.
