05 zx636 "The Dedication"
I bought this and a 03 zx636 with the intentions of building the 05 for me and me the 03 for my brother. He was having a really rough time with PTSD trying to get back in the military and going through a nasty divorce. It was to help him learn something new but to overall try to keep him busy and see how great life can be especially when motorcycles are involved. He was so fucking happy when we started life got in the way a little for him things happened but the plan was still there. As most of you know he passed on September 1st and it absolutely devastated me. Loosing my brother my best friend my hero is the toughest thing I've ever dealt with and with the way it all went down I have very sever mental scars from it. With that being said I'm building this bike in dedication to him but also for the same reasons I was to build it with him. Keep my mind busy and remind myself why I love building/riding motorcycles.
So here's my bike with newspaper


I've been collecting and planning for a long time so I'll do my best to remember parts and prices.
05 636 motor throttle bodies harnes exhaust and other random bit $180
Frame $150 ( will be going custom so tack another 800-1k on that later)
Ducati sssa almost $400 to get it completed
05 zx6 forks $80
06 zx6 triples $75
03 zx6 front rim $130 ( sold the rotors for $100 so really only $30)
06 zx6 fuel tank $62
M4 exhaust $50 ( might go with one of these Ducati s2r1000 exhaust can I have yet to decided)
The rest is all parts I have left over from other part outs or builds
I'm missing just a few pieces I am undecided between 2 tails but leaning towards 1 I'll probably buy tomorrow. I had a vrod headlight but had to sell it off when times got tough. I will be buying a new one I have my eye on one that I can hopefully get for under $100. I'm going to use either woodcraft rear sets or the Chinese knock off vortex. Paint scheme will be black and gold and I have the design of it all planned out. The hardest part will putting it all together. I was going to use badass industries custom steel tube frame but it looks like they are to backed up and I wouldn't get my frame back till 2017 so I might go with one of the many other companies and register the bike with one of my 03/04 titles because the 05 frame I bought didn't cone with a title. It doesn't matter to me as this bike will never leave my possession because of the sentimental value it will have.
i will putting my heart soul blood sweat tears love and everything i can possiably put into it. My wife already knows what this means to me so time and money are no problems. im looking forward to see what i can do with time money motivation and competition.
RIP Sean David Maxwell..... I love you I miss you this is for you. Wish you could ride this beast when I'm done.
