  1. Still need to find these parts off of an 06/07 gsxr 600/750:

    -Tank

    -master cylinder with lever

     

    off an 08+

    -subframe

     

    (not sure why the guy before me had an 08 subframe+tail on it but it'll make it easier if I just replace the subframe and repair the tail)

     

    If you can help me out please contact me at 419-ninesixone-7594

     

    thanks!

  2. Does anyone have any idea on a couple that was there from indy? The wife of one of the riders got pictures of my bike going out into china, So much was going on that I forgot her name, nor do I remember the photos. lol

  3.  

    video trying out the chest mount.. Obviously could try using it a little higher to avoid viewing the tank when tucked :) but I thought it turned out pretty sweet anyways

    I did my own photography with my go-pro.

    Instructions as follows...tuck front end flying into turn 10, tumble across pavement like a frozen turkey shot out if a cannon, have bike/camera spin around in the grass to catch the whole ordeal. Have corrective wrist surgery and repeat in August.

    Funny thing is my left hand sticking out in the pic is what slammed into the ground during my tumble and broke my wrist.

    Damn dude that's no fun.. Atleast your gopro was working lol. Heal up fast!

  5. Dayum, glad you are ok! The bike start flipping as after it crested the hill?

    It must have .. Someone got pictures of it going into the beach and is to email them sometime

    And no prob Todd. Apparently the bank angle sensor was not doing its job lol

  6. What a crazy day.. I went down in turn 8 in the second session, just lost my front end at the apex.. Luckily just lost a grip and bent a clip-on tube. Thanks to Phil hooking me up with a clip on tube I was back at it by the 730 session. I said I was going to go out at 8 for the last one and play around for 15 min--Didn't even make it that long. I pulled into pit lane after 2 laps to wait on a buddy, ended up chasing him down.. Once I chased him down the back, I got into the braking zone, as soon as my forks compressed my front just tucked on me, straight up and down.. Happened so damn fast it was crazy.. I slid to the 100 marker and ran off the track and watched my sliding across and over the hill.. my Bike made it into the middle of china beach leaving a dust cloud for a few laps of those passing.. The plastics were still attached by the fasteners but off the bike lol.. Fairing stay snapped, the harness pulled apart clean at the connector.. Sub frame broke clean on both sides.. swingarm appears tweaked, gas tank smashed in pretty good. Any crazy enough the tube phil gave me was untouched.. Front wheel was locked up so we had to carry the bike onto the trailer.. I have lots of work to do over the next month.

  7. Monday was COOOOLD. But, it wasn't bad. You had to watch the corners a tad in the keyhole exit, turn 8 and 14. But, everything was good. Until I got some stomach flu that put me down after lunch. I got two sessions Monday and went to bed and felt like throwing up all night. Tuesday wasn't any better with a knot in my stomach, but I wanted to ride the bike and sort it out. Got 3 more sessions Tuesday and got some good notes. Just wish I was in better condition to focus more... But, Tuesday after lunch was awesome!

    funny you say that, my stomach exploded last night a few hours after i got home.. I've had a huge knot in it constantly ever since.. Finally feeling a bit better after getting off work today.

    I was stoked that tuesday turned out to be good--was a bit worried when I saw raindrops on the way there. As the day went on, the grip improved. Hopefully the 26th will be even better :)

  8. I picked up a fairly stock 07 gsxr600 a few weeks ago. The shock and forks are both stock, so I ended up ordering a penske 8983 double clicker yesterday. I'm unsure on what to do with the forks, so I'm looking for those on here that may have had experience with the 07 and the geometry setup. Does the 07 require the fork cap extenders? A friend has an 06 with the extenders and said it made a huge difference for him, but wasn't so sure the 07's needed it. Any opinions on what to do internally with the forks without killing the wallet?

  9. Just made the decision recently to go with MS series for the year.. picking up my (new to me) 07 gsxr600 on saturday and hoping to find a penske/ohlins before the first round... but if not oh well, looking forward to getting the feel for the bike and the first race on the 5th! will be #613

  10. I don't get it; its at the upper end of KBB value and in the winter still. Am I missing something?

    Lol well with spring right around the corner, I figure I may as well keep it at the price I want toget out of it.. I had someone offer me 3900 the other night and I didn't take it. Once it gets warm someone will pick it up. As long as I can get a race bike before may I'm in no hurry.
