This is the monetary story of my S2T, less gas and routine maintenance. I paid $1000 for my S2T, plus $200 for a car hitch and $80 to rent a trailer to pick it up and $150 in gas to drive to Fountain, CO both ways from Amarillo, TX. $1430  then paid $200 for registration and inspection $1630 Bought an NRHS 5" round billet A/C for $209 and Ballistic Lithium battery $160 $1999 I sold off the stock turn signals, muffler, mirrors, and misc extra pieces for $500 $1499 Bought a Force Racewinder for it $150 $1649  Didn't like the racewinder, sold it for $240 $1409 Bought an S1 M/C with billet cap for $25 and sold the Nissin remote reservoir M/C for $38 $1422 Bought two stainless megaphones and some 2" OD stainless tubing for $155 to build my new muffler $1577 Bought a D&D full system, Buell race muffler, and Y mount hanger all for $300 shipped (my custom built muffler also pictured)  $1877 D&D didn't fit, never planned on keeping the race muffler. Sold the D&D for $550, the race muffler for $60, and the Y hanger for $60 $1207 Bought 4 Sunpro gauges for $80 and a 12v acc plug for $7 and built a new dash to hold them out of an old carbon fiber hamcam I hd hanging on my wall  $1314 bought some XB9/12R mirrors from American Sport Bike for $50 and de-arched the stems  $1364 Bought a Brembo radial M/C from a Duc 999 with reservoir and ASV lever for $105, a ZX6R clutch perch for $17, and ASV clutch lever for ZX6R for $55  $1541 Sold the S1 M/C for $25 $1516 Bought some Conti Trail Attack tires for $200 and tools to change and balance them myself for $100 $1816 picked up a polished Mikuni HSR 42 for $225, Denso plugs for $20, and sold my stock carb to my brother for $100. $1961 Bought a Banke shifter for $60 and a steering damper for $60  $2081 Bought saddlebags and fairing lowers for $250  $2331 bought wide saddlebag lids for $150  $2486 Sold the Banke shifter for $210 and the narrow saddlebags for $150 $2121 And bought a bunch of white primer and Inferno Red Metallic spray paint for $110 $2231. Here she is now. Not bad for under $2300. I've logged over 11,000 miles since I got it legal in March (bought it mid-February). I also did other stuff that didn't cost anything like polishing the front caliper and straightening and stripping the handlebars.    (Message edited by Phelan on November 21, 2014) | ||

Looking very nice. Belt is too tight  Personally, I like the slim saddlebags myself. Makes that beautiful ass end look even better! Excellent breakdown of what you have into it. | ||

I promise it's not as tight as it looks  . I'm planning on replacing it soon actually. It's quite stretchy. Not sure if it's the original or not, but the bike has 55,000 miles on it. | ||

Pretty nice, some nice mods there. What are the extra gauges, I assume one is oil psi, and a voltmeter, so what are the other 2? Inquiring minds need to know this stuff. | ||

Oil pressure, oil temp, voltmeter and fuel gauge. Only the voltmeter is hooked up currently though. I have a sending unit for the fuel gauge that will require modding the gas tank to install and get the gauge working. I was planning to hook up the other 3 gauges when I do the motor build in a few months but I'm reconsidering if I want to even bother, as I plan to make a new dash at some point as well and may change my mind altogether on the gauges. |
