GSXR/Katana Upgrades on my 550EF

Any updates??? Are you planning any go fast mods? All in all I like your style. when I made my 04 gsxr750 muffler fit to my bike it was way too long stock, there’s a web page (I’m looking for the page) showing how to cut it down from a 3 baffle muffler to a 2 baffle muffler for a sportier sound and a shorter/lighter muffler...I wish I could find that link!

I'll post some pics tomorrow........

I have the front end on the bike, but I need to cut the upper fairing for my clubman's to clear it.....

I also need to get down to the junk yard first thing in the morning to get the proper brake rotors for my front wheel........

I finally got my Dynatek coils and wires, but I have to look up the wiring diagram and make custom brackets to bolt the coils on.....

I removed the stock airbox in pieces, and have my K&N Pods installed

The 4to1 header needs to be spot welded, installed, then driven down to the exhaust shop to weld the pipe and muffler on........my GSXR750 muffler has been gutted

I have NO gauges yet, but all the lights are working.......so I'll put it all back together tomorrow and hopefully be riding Sunday

just wait and see what I come up with on the tank!!

I'm sure you'll figure it out. I have two tanks that have the 'well' that I would need to weld in to mount a later model cap, but since my current 550 tank is already treated with a POR sealer, I don't want to re-do it. But finding a 550 gas cap with a matching key is driving me nuts.

haha no bet to many variables, its looking good (I really like the rear tire, how much wider is that then stock?)

The rear tire now is a 140/70-17 Qualifier Sportmax
The stock rear WAS a 110/90-18 Dunlop D404

I'm liking it too!!!

oh ye of little faith!! want to make a bet on that one

From the pic I would say he would, unless he wanted to cut the mounting hole for it in the tank and weld tabs inside the tank to bolt it to

GSXR600 Passenger Pegs/Hangers

I spent 2 hours this afternoon and was able to complete this job.....

I spent $40 on the rear pegs/hangers shipped off of ebay from a 2005? GSXR600

I removed the side covers, grab bar, and rear seat/tail light cowling. These hangers will bolt almost perfectly in the place of the forward grab handle bolt hole and the forward tail section bolt hole! I had to trim my tail section plastic and had to ream out the forward hole on the rear hangers.....I used all existing hardware! I trimmed the rear tail to make room for the hangers to go through the plastic....I'll get close-ups when I get my new camera in a few weeks....

here are some pictures with the GSXR750 rear muffler mocked up too!

You're going to have to weld the 'hole' from a late model tank in to your tank to accept that cap with the 4 bolts, aren't you?
