[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 216864, member: 4617"] I'll weigh in on this. Being a friend, are you going to charge for labour - keep track of your hours? Parts and such should be on his dime - who gets the parts - you or he? It will not be inexpensive, but it depends on what your friend is going to do with the bike. Does your friend want a frame up restoration that gives him a mechanically sound and safe bike to ride? Is he keeping it for the long term? How far into the restoration does he want you to get? If your friend is not keeping it for the long term, minimum to get it safe for the road and to be plated. Probably get away with $1500.00 USD to do this, not including your time. I just painted my 1500 Goldwing. The painting supplies were about $600.00. The labour to achieve this was considerable, but I'm keeping the bike. My paint guy told me that I took on my first project that had one of the more intricate paint schemes, colour, pearl and clear coat. He mentioned this because my '85 LTD only has a colour coat with some metal flake, then clear coat. If you can do a detailed review of the bike and take him a list of what needs to be done, what should be done, and what be nice to have, you can probably come up with a way ahead. Be nice if a price could be had as well. Once the way ahead is decided, what is your timeline/schedule like? Wouldn't want it to be a driving force in your daily routine. Don't know if this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
