GS1000 streetfighter idea w/ picture

Wo-hoooow! Thaaaaat's going to come out very nicely. Great stuff; keep it coming.

-KR

OK, here are few progress pics. My wife has been gracious enough to let me work on the bike in the house this winter to stave off those 25 degree garage temps. :-D

The stock clutch basket has rattled at idle ever since I bought the bike so it was sent out to GRC to have a Falicon heavy duty clutch kit installed. Stan did a very nice job, wish I could TIG weld like that!

It was reinstalled in the bike using half OEM clutch springs and half Barnett heavy duty springs to give an easier clutch pull over the all heavy duty springs which were in the bike last season.



An Earl's oil cooler and lines were installed to help keep temperatures in line. Bracket and cooler will be painted black once it warms up enough to paint.





I wasn't a fan of the way the Hindle can looked and the ghetto-fabulous exhaust hanger I had installed to test out the viability of the header system so...

I'm in the process of putting an eBay-special (read CHEAP!) 06 GSXR 1000 Ti Yoshi slipon on the bike right now.

This is a quick mockup to see how it looks and to take measurements etc - need to fab a couple of exhaust hangers.

Pics, pics, pics please!!

Hey 80GS1000!

Do you still have this pipe? I'm very interested!.

Sorry man, SaltyMonk on this board now has that pipe. Looks trick on his black skunk GS1000. Those Yoshi GS1000 pipes don't work with a monoshock conversion as the pipe would go right where the lower shock mount is located.

BK is right....PICS, Man, PICS!!!!

Don't be holding out on us, PJ....

I'll post pics soon enough...

See that!!!??? That's exactly what I'm talkin' about! Ha!
Drive on, my mentor, drive on!
...and by all means, post pictures as soon as humanly possible...

just checking, i knew you had reasons. would the other carrier (the one mentioned in the post i quoted) + cush drive shaving have allowed to you align the chain with the 6" wheel? the world may never know.

i hear you on the cheap part, i am the same way.

Send me one and I'll try it out.

Nah, he says he's cheap; but he's more of a true 'Spartan'. That bike is all business, no frills, true to the body-lines (looks), and that which has been changed is for 'performance'...one of my all time favorite bikes. No cheapness there...just 'build genius'.

Thanks, man. Wait till you see version 1.5 currently being built.

did you have to modify the frame at all or get a off set for the sprocket so the chain would not rub the chain looks like a 530 am i right ?

5/8" 520 offset sprocket. 520 DID ERV3 chain. No frame mods to prevent rubbing with this setup.

one more:




you have two different rearsets right to left, or at least the guards are. k4 and k6, maybe? why is that?



back to reading

Two words: budget building. K6 and K4 parts from Fleabay. All the GSXR parts on this bike were bought on the cheap from eBay auctions.

im about to start page 66, but i had a few questions i HAD to get out before i forgot them.




would this have been a viable option to relieve your +6mm on the leftside of the rear wheel for chain alignment?

The 6 mm of offset was with a 6" rear rim. Going to a 5.5" rim helped quite a bit. I used the 2005 GSXR 750 rear sprocket carrier as it fit the wheel and it was a bit thinner than the GSXR 1000 sprocket carrier.

the finished redo and the stock GSXR still dont match up, what gives? loaded vs unloaded? good as it gets? more/less rake?

That's how it ended up with a 51/49 front/rear weight distro and when the rake was set to 24.5 degrees versus the GSXR's 23.5 degrees. I deliberately set the rake a bit conservatively to keep the handling stable. The shock and linkage still have full travel.

Just saw the post with the pictures of the rearsets. The reason that the guards are different is because I have the others!!!! Just joking about having the actual others, but in reality, my brake lever heelguard has the holes while my shift lever heelguard has the slots. Different year GSXR rearsets scrounged up from ebay for my GS650g Cafe project. Stainless brake lines and paint will complete my project.
