Hello all! I Bought an 84FXRP from my uncle last August and have done minimal work to it. I Have changed all the fluids, new battery and fired it up already. SOUNDED GREAT!!! However it sat for 6 years, some of which was in the elements... The starter relay is sketch... Can't just jump on it and ride... What I'm wondering is how much do you think it would take to cherry it out? Here's my ideas:
Powder coat the frame and swing arm
new rubber... ALL THE RUBBER... Tires, motor mounts, handlebar mounts, oil lines etc...
Chrome oil tank
New updated starter relay
New updated(if necessary)clutch... this one is stuck... sitting for a long time with a wet clutch i hear it happens... (for now thinking taking the plates apart and soaking them in oil overnight would do the trick but if i've got them apart anyhow....... *shrug*)
New cables, Speedo cable(with the thingamic jiggy that broke that spins the cable), clutch cable, Trottle/idle cable...(maybe a new speedo and tachometer with chrome cups)
New Tank(got dinged up bad in a move) I'm thinking a larger stretch tank
New seat, "passenger" pad and sissy bar backrest... a nice comfy one for my fat butt!
Carburetor rebuild kit or new carburetor(maybe a better one?)
Engine rebuild... (Punch it out a bit, step up the cam a bit, maybe a few other performance parts?)
Primary AND final drive chain.
All new gaskets for engine, carb, primary, tranny
New mufflers, rest of exaust is ok
New back fender and lights... Somehow the signal bar broke off and there is a HUGE chunk of fender missing...
New headlight and front signal lenses
New rubber/oil/etc for the forks and shocks... wanna ride cushy!
New grips and switches.
New rubber for tank dash and possibly a new dash for the new tank.
Sons of anarchy style 1/4 fairing
Chin fairing from Dirty Biry Customs(if it can be rigged to fit)
New Air Cleaner and filter... (the one i have has ZERO filter on it... looks like a cheese grater! I took off the cover and said what the heck!?!?!?! my buddy said hey, look on the bright side! you won't suck in any small rocks!!!)
new pegs or floorboards and highway pegs. Going to keep the controls where they are.
plus $600 for hard bags(retro buco bags) and new hardware
pretty much a brand new bike... is 10 grand a good ballpark or more like 15? I'm going to do all the work I can myself. I'm sure I can get it together, however I'll have someone else tune it... people who can tune stuff are magicians!!!
