Good day Gixxer Riders.
I'll be honest, situation in my garage is one I would get killed by either of the brand riders - I have a Kawasaki ZX10R, a Honda CBR 954 and GSXR 600 K3, looks like no brand loyalty here but - hey, I just choose what I can get my hands on at the time - Any bike is a good bike.
So here I am, about to do my first somewhat serious Project. Bought a K3 600 after a crash, forks are bent, frame looks good so far (you never know, ofc), fairings mostly gone. Thus I decided to do a trackday bike that's barely street legal. (here in Malta we don't have bike MOT's ((do not laugh)) thus I kind of have all roads open for modifications.
Goal (somewhat) :
(I know I know, please no hate for Honda pic in the thread, but this build just serves me for a landmark.)
What I am planning to do?
Forks - First thing's first, the old ones are bent and not that good either, so I will do a front end swap and here I will have a few questions. I've read some info of interchangeable parts and will figure out exactly how I want it shortly.
Rear swing arm - that's going to be changed for a 750 one because it has the upper bracing, silly reason but with the tail I have in my mind - it's a must.
Front fairing - The original fairings are gone, so I will use actual racing fairings, but only front +sides, not the tail.
Tail - this one is the biggest part of the build. I plan to attach a Honda RS 125 racing tail to the bike. Meaning the rear subframe is going to be rebuilt completely or possibly created from scratch as it doesn't have to be bing and super strong as there will be no space for pasangers on the bike.
Exhaust - that I will look into later on, but it will most probably mean some cutting and welding as well as the placement of it might be different from what it is oringinal.
And yes, some smaller bits and peaces, like power commander, indicators, headlights (this will be an interesting one), grips, chain and sprockets, and some overall clean.
I wonder how the pictures I've added will be visible as it's really my first post, but either way, the Yellow Gixxer is the one and no, i'm not the lady on the bike. And the crazy cool looking Blade is my landmark for the general idea of build.
