If I break even on the '79 CB759F that I'm working on, I'll be happy. Paid $250 for it and already in it for ~$1300. And doing nothing for appearance! Little things add up along with batteries, tires, chains, brake rebuild kits, wheel and head bearings, title transfer. Plus PO gottchas of wrong, broken, misding, or not repairable items. I need to start looking a lo closer at my projects. It's not the purchase price, it's what it costs after.
