            Welcome and have fun rebuilding your bike!
            As for moving from cruisers and choppers to superbike, huge change in riding style and a huge challenge to your riding skills. You can putz around on a superbike, but that's not what it's made for.
            Best 'o luck if you actually discover you wanna become a proficient sportbike rider.

            1982 GS1100G- road bike, body, seat and suspension modded
            1990 GSX750F-(1127cc '92 GSXR engine) track bike, much re-engineered

              Thank you! About being proficient in sport bike riding I became dangerously too good on my first bike a 04 GSXR 750 (bought brand new) (blue/white) at evading and eluding the cops in my local area (tri-county) as far as being a super bike....she’s a bit of a hog but pulls strong as a bull....I beat out my buddy on his 02 GSXR 1000 twice in a row....but to be fare he is not as well versed in the art of grabbing your balls and twisting the throttle....hahah 😈

                Does the lowered seat interfere with the stock side covers?

                2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                  no not at all....I just leave them off..... I have two sets and both have missing tabs, I got to get around to repairing them and give them a fresh paint!!
