I don't even want to know. I haven't been keeping track anyway, but I've spent more than I would have expected when I started my original build last August.

Generally $200.00 or less (my first one, had the bike for years and didn't ride it, bike was FREE), the bike below is a new bike, and cost was in the ball park of $300.00



Then he put on a springer front fork, and that was about $60.00, so add that.

Too scary to think about AHHHHHHHH!

Have built standard HT MB's for as cheap as $180.00
Custom bikes over the years I'm sure its in the thousands. Luckily I can re-coop when there sold.
My personal rule... never dump more than 70% of the sale value. Then after a while you get to build for free.
Free happens ruffly after the 4th build.

I'm reluctantly working on 2 unfinished projects.
Paid for RockSolid Kit today, expect delivery soon, and that's for a ordinary looking bike to get me around. ( Avanti)
Then, the bike I have spent HEAPS, from scratch, sand blasting, powder coat, sealed bearing hubs, new rims & spokes. 9 speed cassette etc etc, new brake arms, and on and on and on it goes. It's now year 2 of this particular one-off build. And my last, maybe.
Still, have to get another kit for it later on. The kit will be RS, and it has to have all the "must haves", ofcourse...and that list will go and and on and $$on$$.... I want a flat rear tank. I am starting to not like the HT kit's fuel tank. Prefer a "out of sight-out of mind" fuel tank that can be mounted above the rear wheel.

Then I gotta get the 30cc Rotary/Sachs up and running again. Blown CDI, not cheap for those.

I really am not sure why I do this anymore.

You got some nice builds there graucho.

Under 200 for the bike, but bought a junk moped for 150 to be able to register it here in NY as a moped.
HF 79 + good seat, sus. seat post, mirrors, jackshaft brgs, pulleys, belts and stuff I already had. But LOTS of time.

 

[masterx1234]

bike cost: 170 (Schwinn riverside)
kit cost: 140 (50cc bgf kit)
so were talking 310 bucks for all stock kit and bike

I helped my son with a bike about 5 years ago and he spent $200 for bike and HT kit. It lasted one summer, lol, he moved on in life but I got the bug, went to Japanese engines, better bikes etc. so more $$$ became the norm.

IMO, starting with a decent used bike, a good daily rider that needs little more than scheduled maintenance and you can jump on anytime, day or night and go (with lights etc) will run somewhere around $700. And up, lol.
