Default should I?

so we have a customer who looped an 04 cbr1000rr, had frame damage. he decided to fix it himself, so he actually got a new frame and parts from us. after looking at it all decided he may be in over his head, so inquired about the labor for us to do it. as you could imagine a frame swap is up there in labor time, so in the end he's looking to sell the whole thing. $3000 for the busted bike with a clean title, a new frame and a box of parts to put it all back to new, except plastics and an exhaust. I'm thinking this could be too good a deal to pass up. either put it together, throw on racebody and take it to the track, or get some street body off of ebay, a nice slip on, and sell it in the spring. or just keep my money and forget the whole thing. what to do, what to do

Go for the money. I used to be "wholesome", but I've smartened up, and learned that having Cold, hard, cash in hand is never, ever a bad thing.

Fug that...doooo it dooo it. Its time you step your panzy ass up to a liter bike anyway. If Gayest gayer of the year can ride one, you can tooooooo. The motor swapping isn't that hard....I would be riding mine right now if I had just chosen a better motor to swap into it. LOL

If you set the bike up correctly (that means having a suspension expert do the work) the bike is very fun to ride. I turned my best time this year at Summit on one during the WERA 6hr race (1:19). Very fun bike but the set up is critical to fast lap times.
