Frame Change Questions
First off the bike is a '99 900RR and the frame on it seems to be quite illegal(popped off vin and huge weld patch). Anway the guy i bought it from gave me the original frame and some parts so this is a muti part question.
1. I was going to have a shop change the frames but it's expensive($700-$1600) I have average mechanical skills and since i'm not taking the engine apart can I change the frame myself?
2. What parts should I look to replace or check for wear while I am doin this?
3. The original owner gave me a jet kit and set of rotors for the front, what exactly does a jet kit do and how do I know if the rotors are any good?
4. Also since it will be apart i plan on painting it, i'm thinking pearlescant white with the stock frame color or black and having the frame powdercoated flat black. Just looking for input.
Thanks for any help and if you know something else throw it in there.
