Because all of these parts are wear items, they are replaced several times during a bike's lifetime.  For the purposes of this article, let's assume you're going to keep the bike for <b>15k miles</b>, and base the costs on that (ie, that's 2 oil filters, one chain, one headlight, 5 changes of oil, 30 cotter pins, 2 sets of tires, one set of brake pads, one complete set of turn signal lights ($6)).
 
Running total: $1115.50
