    Cool. It would look naked without the shark fin tips.

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

      Thanks! It's just bolt-ons right now. Its got DynoJet stage 3 kit with K&N pods, Delkevic full exhaust with a custom Racefit-esque carbon end can welded on, Earl's cooler with a UK-made adapter, will have new ignition and coils. Eventually, somewhere down the line I'd like to drop a Bandit 1200 motor in there. But given how this build is currently going, it'll be a long while.

        Thank you! It's a 2006 GSXR-750 complete front with CognitoMoto upper triple clamp. The ground clearance is good since the rear end is raised slightly (0.5-0.75 inch) due to the slightly longer shocks. In hindsight, I would've gone with Cognito's riser clamp set ($$$) or get a Honda 954 triple set ($).


        FYI, the rear is a Bandit 1200 complete rear end, using Katman's conversion kit, with Chinese shocks at 13.5" eye to eye. Eventually, I'd like a set of FOX RC1 duals on there...but that's also ($$$).

          BasketCase I like your project!

          I have a couple threads about upgrading the suspension and adding the front fairing to My 82 1100G.
          I'll just post some pics here.

                  LOL

                  She's coming. The 550 bottom end is waiting for me to have a few days off to put the 673 top end on!

                    Not sure if this comment is towards me or another member, but I'm documenting my build over on the projects subforum. Look for Basket Case project. Thanks.

                            Looks good. Thanks for sharing.
                            And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                            Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                              I am very curious about that fairing... It is very attractive. Was that a stock part or aftermarket?

                                Ditto on the fairing. How much protection does it provide?
