| How are you going to cope until next season? I'd never buy a bike in winter. It'd kill me.

| it's driving me insane right now. and i haven't even got the bike to my house yet. i'll work on it over the rest of winter. like take all the body parts off and fix/prep to get paint'd. and maybe i'll have alittle extra cash left over from my other projects(my drag and autoX crx's  ) to put into the bike. we'll see.

| Personally I wouldn't worry about getting it painted right now unless you just really have the money to burn. If you do end up dropping it with a custom paintjob..... Worry about mechanical stability and rider ability before cosmetics.

| well i could do all the body/prep work myself. and my friends parents own a body shop(sometimes i work there). so they'll give me a good deal on it. it'll maybe cost me $200 tops. i could just trade some work for the paint job. or some car parts. the paint job isn't going to be crazy or anything. it'll most likely be black and red.

| Prekarious makes a very good point, and you have all winter to go over the bike with a fine tooth comb. So get a manual, read it, re read it, then read it again, before wrenching. Don't rush, you have several months! Do it right and in spring you will be sure to have a road worthy bike.
