i wanted to show the few and proud what a find i found...no fairings but the rest of the bike is perfectly straight and solid...btw i traded a rc rock crawler for this bike!!!
i got it with the impression that the fuel pump was bad....nope..pulled it and cleaned it...works like a new one!..this thing purs like a kitten...now my question to u guys is color? any problem areas to watch out for?...any input is greatly appreciated.. this is my forth gsxr but first srad!!! thanks for looking guys
thanks for the comments guys..im currently in touch with ccmhunt...Would u guys recommend a jet kit?...it has a bolt on yosh and k&n filter as of now...is a jet kit worth it?
ok well i think im down for a carb rebuild and jet kit install from Chris! Also gonna pick up a air tray from him as well i do believe! I got my levers today...pretty sweet lookin! (Thanks cobramadness)
i got my carbs boxed up tonight..they are going to chris on monday...in the mean while i will be painting....painting .....and more painting...stay tuned!!!!
are you a painter? my 6 hunnerd needs paint but if I do it I want it spectacular something stock but Chip Foose or at the least factory quality..
my favorite scheme is the gold but I know its too elaborate unless I have the graphics kit which I can't find
the only other paint I really like is the blue/black (last pic)like the 02 busa or the blk/charcoal/purple like this one and I could replace the yellow with a chrome GSXR or something like that..
I dunno for myself I don't really like custom paint jobs I dont know why I just like the stock paint jobs..
yeah i do alot of painting here locally...ive done at least two dozen bikes i would say...from solids to wild and crazy..lol me though i have a soft spot for nice clean solid color bikes...this bike will be a super dark blue..or black...with gold wheels, black frame ,swing arm , and front end bits...i will probably go with some nice gold "r" decals and that will be it for decals..
Do a solid colour, then a quality vinal sticker over top of it followed by a nice clear. It will last for years! Much less expensive then painitinng it in different colours, HOnda has been doing it for decades!
it wouldnt be hard to do...it would just take alot of tapework and time...which means not cheap ...haha...nothing is ever cheap if its done right though lol.
yeah thats a good way to do it. the only thing i dont like about vinyl is that the color is a little bit muted on the vinyl and the clear doesnt always cure that..
Why not got to a vehicle wrapping firm and get the panels wrapped. Its an idea I have been toying with for a while. My mate has some real carbon wrap and he keeps bugging me to do it all I do is pay the cost of materials and this stuff isn't cheap about £75 per metre.
I must say GDC rocks, I literally been bouncing around forums just to see what's what and having a SRAD (best bike I ever rode) this is the place to be. OP your bikes gonna be kicka$$ when your thru!!
yea its nice to see someone do the frame offs when required, I would have done the same but its the only bike I have to ride so I don't like to have it apart for more than a week or so however I am thinking about biting the bullet over the winter?
I got my rear wheel painted to check the color...will have it sand blasted and will have them powdercoated...what do u guts think?..pretty close to the cgr color .
I will mock it up and get your guys opinions! thanks for looking
anodized rear set and guards would be nice, wonder if the latest gen stock adjustable sets off the 1000 would fit, those would be nice anodized as well with the GSXR guards..
Im going to get some anodized gold rear sets when taxes get back..so thatll solve the rearset problem ..haha. and yeah i have a powdercoating setup...the wheels will barely fit in my pc oven...thats the biggest part i can fit in there.
