I've posted this build on a couple other forums but for some reason haven't posted here..until now. I bought this bike back in September. It's an '89 Gsxr750 that was sitting since around '93-94. The odometer shows just a hair over 9400 miles although when the original owner raced it he disconnected the speedo cable so actual miles are slightly higher. I am now the 2nd owner, as far as I know. The previous owner included a box of goodies that include the passenger seat, original header, a bunch of other stock parts, as well as a spare rear rim and a FOX racing shock. The bike had all fiberglass race body work and a Storz steering damper. It's also fully safety wired. I think I did well for $700. I have since sold off the front race fairings for $300 and a few other parts here and there so to put some $$ back into my pocket. I spent a couple hours hanging a few parts back on it as well as installing a battery and hooking up disconnected wires. I used an IV bottle to fill the carbs and proceeded to crank it over. Within 10-15 seconds, the bike started!! I have to give the PO credit as he drained the tank, the carbs, placed oil in the cylinders, and put fresh oil in the crankcase when he stored it. I was worried about the engine making noises since he low-sided it and could have starved it of oil. But the bike must have shut off before any damage was done as it's super quiet. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v39/Streetfighterkz/Gsxr750/?action=view&current=P9230010_zps3e4b348f.mp4 I've also found my inspiration for the build in an issue of Streetfighter Mag. I don't want to build the bike exactly the same but I LOVE the overall style of it. I started to think about the overall design of the bike. I obviously don't want to copy the Twisted Synergy bike but want to reuse some of the basic design ques. There may be a few tweaks but below is what I'm shooting for. It has a custom tail made using a Kz750 Twin tail as a base, trimmed down Zrx fairing and an Airtech race belly pan with a DanMoto GP exhaust. I went through 15 or so revisions before I got the paint scheme to look just right. Back in Decenber, I went on a holiday shopping spree. I shouldn't have spent the money but too late now. I opened the boxes quicker than my actual Christmas presents. Shown is a '92 Gsxr750 front end, a '94 Gsxr750 swingarm and caliper bracket, and a Zrx1100 headlight. Not shown is the '92 Gsxr600 5.5" rear rim, '01 Gsxr600 gauge cluster and a Zrx1100 fairing and windscreen which had not arrived when the pic was taken. I did play around with the headlight and the frontend to see how close I can tuck in the light to the fork legs. I didn't realize how big the Zrx light was from the front. Continued below...

Somebody need me? Here I is!

Don't mind me, my mind is always in the gutter. Plus it's black history month.

This is not what I thought this thread would be about

They bought me this for christmas. Well a gift card actually. I have been playing a lot more. Embarassed my self last time I busted out my guitar in front of some one.

Took my wife to the range for the first time. She shot the M&P 22 a few times and then the 9mm. She was way more excited about the 9mm. Lol All in all a good Sunday.

Anyone else think this ihateu3 dude is just as annoying?

i <think> she's Riley Voelkel... Lotion? Check Tissues? Check fapping to commence in 3..2..1.

I might be selling my two piece so I can buy one that fits me a little better. I've got the Coretech Latiago 2 piece. sz 40 all black. I just need to make sure I have funds to buy a new one. i'll get back to you shortly

This thread is a disaster. If you are paying 39% you are doing it wrong or lying. The fact that some of you dont understand the difference between marginal and effective tax rates is the product of willful ignorance and a symptom of why you are poor.

So I say that I don't want to do Vette wheels, especially the cheap knock-offs, or expensive CCWs and that's what everyone posts. Thanks for all the feedback guys. No wonder I have always kept the stock 16s.
