Anyone else dump a shiat load of money into their rides last season? i dropped almost 3 g's in my shee if not more im afraid to add up the reciepts. PLUS another 1800 plus in the tank. Effn reality check from hell. specially for a 16 year old. o ya fireballs opinion doesnt count

Ha im not sure how much i have dumper in my bike since i got it, ill tally it up one day not as much as that though

Let’s just say I’ve put more into than what I paid for it new. As you can imagine I don’t like adding it up.

Hum about 5K atm, but need to sell some of the stock parts

I don't even want to know how much I have in my wheeler

Anybody want to buy my wheeler for $5000

not this year but last summer my '03 raptor got a pipe, filter, jets, chrome a-arms, front shocks, new rims and tires all around, rear chrome axel, +4 chrome swingarm, chain, trail tech lights and dash computer and a few other things, I think it ended up to be around $4000.

I gotta add a pic now,

I refuse to add up receipts for my bike. I don't have any heart problems or grey hair and that's the way I like it.

I don't want to know how much last years rebuild cost. The wife might devoice me...

I cant say I didn help with Ians bike, I bought him the swingarm and rear shock for Xmas.

Well im droping so more money into my ibke for a steering stem, depends if i get a good deal i will get either a aftermarket +1 or a stock

he was thinking about a steering stem, but didnt know if it would make that big of a difference. also a steering stabalizer too, but I think he is done spending money on the raptor now.

If i had a choice i wouldnt get one, but i have no choice, my stock one is badly bent, it sucks becaus e i worked for some money to save up for gas money but now i got to go spend however many $$$ on a new steering stem

that is a bummer, how did it bend? while you were racing?

during practice they had changed the 40' double to a 50' table and the landing sucks, but i kased it with my back wheels and it went from there, i landed on my left shoulder rolled over a few times then jumped up and rolled my bike over, it sucks, i really really wanted to race, i felt good to becasue i just got some 18" klaws for the rear and they helped alot, i was only 2 1/2 laps into practice, i felt good about today i know i was going to do good

Well, I didn't upgrade parts, but I bought whole bikes lol.. I bought myself a 250r, my brother a 250r, and my dad a 20ft flat bed trailer, with every thing I spent it came to about.. $13,000 Not bad for a 16 year old yes it was *my* money too.

I never add it up, I want to enjoy them.

so far i am over $500, which is powder and most of the parts. still need some seals for the motor, my radiator bent back to straight, my pipe un-dinged, or a new one, and plastics. all told, it'll be close to $1k before season starts. im a bargain shopper.

plus i still have to buy new riding pants(th 34's arent fitting anymore), just bought a new helmet(a $179 kbc ikon) for $50 shipped.

Since President's Day, when our season started winding down a little too early...

Sarah's 400EX has gotten a full plastic set, new rear wheels and paddles, a new Trail Tech light system, Tag bars, grips, chain, and she's one season deep into a new top and bottom end (don't ask why an '01 needed that so soon, it's not a purty story).

I'm in the process as we speak of a new top end, frame powdercoat, new clutch and cable, Toomey 1-into-2 throttle kit, chain, IMS desert tank, a-arms, coils and shocks all around...do the math on the $$$ if you want, just please don't tell me!

after years of owning used crap and a tent...in the last year I have dumped about 50K into my crap..new trailer, 3 new quads...kfx700, ds650, frtrx 250....all 04 models...and dang happy about it...its not what ya spend..its what ya can afford...I did it without using credit cards...that is what I am proudest to myself about....when I was a kid I used to trick out my bikes..now a days..I leave em bone stock...just add things that I want that they did not come with..like paddles, cooler rack, gps mount, ect....I always lost my arsk on resale and seemed to me like the reliability went away.....but I sure can appreciate a decked out bike...just not for me these days....

Just spent about $3500!!!!! Got Chrome A-arms, Elka Shocks, Beadlocks front/back, new paddles/razors, Tag Bars, Fullbore Plastics, Cascade seat... I think that is it until the SSSS in Sept. Gonna get 4 lazer lights then. I will have before and after pics as soon as the arms are here ( hopefully this week )

$110 on a 6-pack rack and a new whip

D'oh! Was just thinking about the toys...another $18K on a trailer, I dread the thought of what I'm about to spend to pull the trailer...
