like that is news.....anyway, as part of the re-build of the MFP12 into the ZX12R-R, I have started a list of required bits'n'pieces.......and yes, OEM stuff is through the roof....
But its a necessary evil, well it is to get the OEM parts prices anyway, as these provide a baseline for *everything* else out there....
When I get the prices back on Monday, will post the list of required bits, and all the OEM prices in this thread. I have already had some good responses from a couple of wreckers using Findapart.
For those who may not know how Findapart works - just fill in the blanks on the front page, and they do the rest. Emails are sent to every bike wrecking yard that is on the network ( ie all the ones that matter, and who will probably have what you need).
When you get a response from each wrecker using Findapart, it includes the price.
Next step in the long process - is set up an Aussie ebay search for your model - in my case its the MFP12 (2005 ZX12R). This sends an email to you every day when new items are listed......not always what you are looking for, but sometimes the odd bargain pops up.....
Last step - repeat the above process using US ebay. The ZX12R in this example, was a huge seller in the US, so there is a farking shitload of spares for sale all the time there.......eventually, if you get no luck with wreckers or ebay here, then you could expect to get everything you need from US ebay......
I will update this thread with all the stuff that is bought, any shithead dealings with wreckers or ebay scammers, and all the costs......it will be a bit of a rolling commentary on the rebuild........to kick it off, here is a picture of a paint scheme that is currently doing laps in my tiny mind......
I reckon the old girl will look sweet, especially with ZX12-RR on the side !!!
