For a new set of plastics I'm looking at almost 5k, not icluding the tank. I would have to fix and repaint both sidepanels, the tail and the tank. To get it lookin good, I'd have to pay someone rather than do a rattlecan job. Figure $1500. Both Akcr cans are dented and the exit bends on the header pipes scraped; replace the cans, $450 a pop, and sand/polish the headers. Add a clipon and controls for th RH side, plus sundry stuff and anothy $300 is gone. Sooooo, without my labor I'm looking at $2800-3000 plus the cost of the bike, and when I'm all done, I've still got a bike with a rebuilt title.

Guess I answered my own question, eh?
