JRK5892:
figured it was time to start a build thread as i will be making some real progress on here now
this bike is not built to LOOK cool, it is built to function, it is road every day rain or shine 80 miles total... it is a work horse
 
when i got her she was pretty much stock... so i added to that ended up with this... extended shield, heated grips, blacked out mirrors, airbox cover,a dn frame rail, added bags, HID headlight, 14T front sprocket, lower wing guards, and 3rd brake light
looked like this

 

 
then i got the itch... tore off the controls and coated them, re cut the seat and re wrapped it, and added custom chrome heated grips for adjustable temp
 

 

 

 
then the screw up came.... added decals

 
also added some fogs for better vision at night

 

 

 
 

JRK5892:
then the evolution kept going

 
added amber LEDs to be seen better at night

 
then raised the back end to quicken steering

 
now i wanted some mroe sound out of the bike

 

 
 

 
addedl LED turn sig

 
 

JRK5892:
then all hell broke lose this weekend... tore down for paint and powder, GSXR rear suspension, progressive front
started with a tail chop
 

 

 
then i had to make a floating rear fender to keep crap off me in the rain

 

 

 
some time on the belt sander later... we are golden

 

 
bent and welded up some round bar to use as a support (doing a larger rear tire so i could not finish mounting it)

 
pulled the 10000000 bolts from the valve cover to set the valves and coat the cover

 
and how she sits now

 
 
now i have to decide if i want to suck it up and pay the 68 bucks for bearings for the swing arm and coat the swing arm to match the frame... paint work starts tonight... i have to keep the full fairing (for now) cause i will be riding all winter.. come spring i can pull it for a fighter set up

JRK5892:
spent a good amount of time last night cleaning my airbrushes... sad, never let friends borrow stuff if they are not going to bring them back in better condition than they borrowed them! After i was completed with that i set out to start to prep...
all the plastics and the tank are now blocked out and ready for primer! TONIGHT!

front fairing


Rear fairing


cut thought the clear with block sanding to remove the suzuki decals... then blocked that out so it is smooth




also cleaned up the GSXR rear shock... and got the resivor shot
