+2 who cares if they keep giving you crap, i bought a wrecked 2000 zx6r and spent probably close to $2000 making it a streetfighter. not even back to stock. but its my bike, i designed it from the ground up and love every imperfection about it! to ride your bike properly, you MUST LOVE your bike and take care of it. not part it out on ebay to get something better. keep the commitment going.
