Got a track bike GSX-R750, tons of pics of preperation process

I decided the monster was too pretty to risk trashing at the track. I found this GSXR 750 fairly cheap on the WERA forum. Anyway, check it out. Actually, you guys know him. Gixxie750 sold it to me. Had a lot of good parts, was a pretty good deal but needed a little love.

found a problem with the threads in the drain plug. It was interesting having my buddy's fabricator fix that. I suppose there are simpler ways to do it.

Funny, you get a race bike and all your friends want to work on it. I dunno if its a tom sawyer sort of thing or what but I feel pretty lucky.

busch light, coors light bouleit burbon. It all depends. :) We like drinking and working on bikes. It's been an eventful 2 weeks. I just hope we can get it buttoned up this week before barber.

BTW, anyone who is seeing themselves in these pictures. Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it a lot.

Lots of desmohio love in here and a special thanks to Robert, who isn't quite as into the forums as us computer nerds.

The guy that did the welding is Keith, im not 100% on his prices, but he is EXTREMELY reasonable, and local to gahanna. Not to mention he can make about anything you would want... anything.

Joe, youre welcome for the help. Thats what friends are for man. I just hope you have a blast on her at barber this weekend! Im fucking jealous im not going man!

OH and like vw151 said, Robert is an awesome guy. I will try to bring him out to an event. This is Robert...

Was the valve problem fixed before you got it or was that part of the TLC it needed.

no valve problem. Just checking tolerances. They were in but close to needing shimmed. I'll probably shim them after barber.

Holy crap! You took her all apart!!!!! Do you have any final product pics? You are putting some seriouse love into her!

No final pics yet but they will follow. Still need to put it all back together but it's almost done. Would have liked to have been able to go through the forks too but not enough time. I can't wait to ride at Barber.

Once it's done it'll be all black. Probably just primer before the end of the week though.

Two questions....

First... Can we get some photos like that of that beautiful S2R??

Second... What is supposed to be in 'PaperTowel Dick's' holster??

I am not sure what to say about Rob's dick holster. however......

I will always post pics of the monster when asked. I whore pictures all the time and that bike is sooo pretty these days. The insurance company helped me out with it last year when I had a mishap down in south east OH. The first two are as it is today.... minus some tech spec grippy stuff on the tank. I was getting it all ready to track this year when it occurred to me that wrecking it again would cost more then just buying a pre-loved WERA raced gixxer. Not to mention the fact that a GSX-R750 is just plain more suited for the track. I've ridden the monster at the track and an old GSX-R600 and I've ridden some other superbikes. The monster does fine at the track but the superbikes are just meant for the track. Anyway' date=' that's how I ended up with the GSXR.

LOL, told you I was a whore. I'll post up more pics of the track bike when she's ready for barber. I have a feeling she won't be all done by then but the bike will be good enough to ride.

Yes, Robert has been a huge help. He has 2 GSXR track bikes and knows the bikes really well. He is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet, so if you ever meet him..... well, be nice to him cause he deserves it.

Aaaaaaa, Its a yota in wolverines clothing. :puke:

Do yourself a favor VW, peel off those asshat junkie stickers. :D

I've got nothing personal against them but all the stickers have been removed in the sanding-fiberglass-duraglassing process. It's almost ready for some primer.

who wiped their ass with yota's shirt?

Ok, in my defense about my choice of clothing... Someone left the sweatshirt at my house when I lived on campus. I was gonna throw it away, but I figured It would be more fun to work on cars/bikes in it and wipe grease all over it. Just throwing it away wasnt enough. I had to dirty it first. :D

Ever need any notes, I got a book full of them. Raced that model from 2001-2003 and was VERY intimate with it. Watch a few things, but they were tanks and held up really well... Again, if you come to any STT events at Mid-Ohio or I can leave them with the boys at Pony, I have a book full of notes and gearing. I can tell ya gearing we ran at Barber back then, too...
