i have done som work on it:
this is my donorsled (1983 V-max 540):
http://www.totallyamaha.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=31596&stc=1
hood and those sideplates are painted by a pro, and i have ordered new replica SRX 500 decals. This cost me 1050$ !
the engine:
i have almost all of it, but i still missing a few parts to complete it with SRX500 parts. this will cost me more than 1200$ to complete, but hell yeah!!
the frame:
wide-modd most be removed, so i will take the front frame from the 8U9 chassis, thats the same part as the orginal 8R9. i find some parts on the 83 V-max 540 with 8R9 on it, like the CDI unit.
The coolersystem:
if you are a true Yamaha freak, then you have allready seen that its not stock. Yeah, its from 8U9 . I will remove it and replace it with the stock part.
Untill now this piece of crap has cost me 3000$ ! ! ! nad i havent really started yet.. yeah...

So whats left to it?since you are going to put 50 big ones in it(50 norwegian big ones that is,aprox 8-9 grand US dollars).Did you get the hood and side covers painted in the original jet black?i also heard you got the stripe-set for it

hehe,the thing is,it sounds like a hell of alot of cash,but the thing is that...well,i dont know how to realy explain this,but the dollar is at an all time low now compared to how things are here ower the pond.thats why people have been buying stuff like crazy from the US..i dont know if what i said now was right,but i think you can understand what im talking boutdynofun said:8-9 grand US?

This actually isn't so much if you think what you have to pay to get a sled painted by a pro,and all the parts you will need for it if you are going to have a MINT 8r9
oops,sorry for hijacking your thread,haha !

I understand. The dollar is down there but people never realize how much labor adds up to raise the price no matter where you are. A lot of people give their stuff away.

Excellent work. Can't wait to see the finished project. You are still way ahead on what your sled is worth when you are done with it. Hopefully you will be able to get the parts you need over there, if not don't hesitate to email me again I will find what you are in need of.
