After my lowside - LOTS of pictures!!!!!

[2movethesoul]

Bike is a K6 GSX-R 750

I had a low speed low side in mid/late September. First corner out of my house, cold tires + cold pavement, is no fun.
Any how here are some pictures of the damage after my "crash" if you want to call it that.

Scratched front fairing, broken left mirror, scuffed/broken ASV C5 lever (covered under warranty), mangled bar end...


Had my bike not hit the curb, I would have no need for a new fuel tank/tank fairing, as well as the left tail fairing and centre piece, oh well...




Frame slider did the job, as I watched my bike slide down the street for a good 20 FT or so before hitting the curb. (Contrary to popular belief, the bracket/bolt to the slider did no damage to the engine) LSL FTMFW


The next day, I made a trip to Snowcity Cycle in Scarborough and ordered $2500 worth of OEM parts.
-New fuel tank
-Tank fairing
-Mirror
-Left tail piece
-Centre tail piece
-Front fairing.
-Some miscellaneous odds and ends (push pins, rubber bushings, etc.)

My main go-to-guy, is JohnnyP from Stunters Inc out of Mississauga...
I contacted him and shortly after he came to my house and picked up my bike...
The next day it looked like this:


[IMG]While my bike was there and I figured that my season was pretty much a wrap, I decided to have a few things anodized and powder coated in black to match the rest of the bike. Shortly after, my bike looked like this:


Here's a list of the things that were to be anodized/powder coated:

Forks/fork bottoms
Calipers
Kickstand
Lower and top triple
Clip ons
Chain adjuster blocks/castle nut
Miscellaneous bolts
Rear shock spring
Water pump cover
Frame slider brackets
New rear pegs
Fairings stay
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, but that's the majority of the parts!

And then, my bike looked like this...











It hurt a little to see my bike in pieces and in boxes, but I figured I had the right guy doing the job so I wasn't worried.

Here are the parts that were anodized...
The only things I didn't end up using from this batch were the fork caps, felt like it would be too black on black, so I got a new set of OEM ones from Snowcity.





And so it begins, putting the bike back together...
The lower triple in action:


Frame slider bracket, bolts and water pump cover: Amazing job matching the engine casing...

Rearsets after being re-anodized:


New tail, re-anodized rearsets, powder coated kickstand and more action of the water pump cover and frame slider bracket.
He also did the shift knuckle and the part attached to the clutch cable... not sure of the name.



Rear caliper, axle tip/Yoshimura block adjuster:


Yoshimura block adjuster re-anodized, castle nut and even the cotter pin were powder coated.


It`s coming together, slowly but surely!


Almost there...

I have those frame sliders, nice to know they held.

I ordered some ProBolt engine casing bolts in black to match and I`m getting new black bolts for the rearsets as well...
Feels and looks like a brand new bike and I fucking love it!!!

They definitely did the job, no damage to the side fairings at all.

Nice detailing. Did you notice that they put the forks back in at the stock height instead of flush as you had them before?

These bikes like flush forks and a 5mm shim under the shock.

Thanks!

Yes, I did notice...
It's set at OEM, I plan on upgrading the suspension next season anyway, so I wasn't too concerned.
