Let's see...

I'd go with:

A good chain.
No bars 'cause I like the stockers.
Renthal Kevlar grips.
Ti pegs... By...ME!
Take the $500 back on suspension 'cause I own a spanner and a flat-blade.
A can of VP U4.
Galfer Wave 270 frt & "light" RR rotor (stock Honda rotors are an insult)
Brake fluid by Motorex
$500 in Ti bolts strategically located for 2# savings...
Company/Sponsor Graph's by DeCal Works
The Pipe as mentioned

The whole thing torn down and reassembled by the one footed X-Games medalist know as Todd Thompson.

Yup, that's all of it. Then I'd take it to the new Lake Elsinore track...on Feb 28th: the 1st day I can ride.

I might have even stayed within my budget.

The 800 camp did have some stupid expensive bikes as AM riders. Not sold on this though.

I think thats JA's Moto concepts bike from '09. Nice bike but it's probably not going anywhere any time soon.

That is Gregg Albertson, Jimmy's brother and Trey's new practice bike mechanic. Brent is still Trey's wrench at Team Honda.

you guys must have skipped over the part where it says the bike has a-kit suspension. that alone cost $8k! sounds like a good deal to me.

Gotcha! Sucks for him that Trey got hurt because I'm sure he lost a good bit of business

considering a new bike cost almost 9000 dollars it wouldn't be a stretch to get something like that at same price I would buy it

Would be worth a lot more parted out. Are all the parts there to put it back somewhat stock?

That's not us selling, I do however Have my brand new race bike forsale I didn't use at monster cup cause my practice bike was easier to ride since I was only on the bike s few weeks, there's nothing in it for me so email my dad for interest at ktmj@aol.com. I believe it's like 7 grand or even cheaper from what I heard but I feel I heard wrong if he really said 6

Its not like they paid for any of the parts or probably the bike and if they did paid for the bike it was less than half of what they are sold for.

Your Ti pegs, thats cool. One of the first things I do is get bigger pegs. I like the Litespeeds shape/size, they always feel more planted. The other thing that really feels good is a rear brake clevis. I was really shocked the first time I put one on a bike.
One thing that I would love to be able to try multiples of is Triple Clamps and different offsets, I wish there was a way to do that for the masses.
