SJC1000rr Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Coming along nicely. I put on a Vortex Keyless cap and definitely like it over the old OEM key system. I did a lot of what your now doing also and can remember all the "fun" . Might consider taping around the servo delete kit so that the wires don't cross and melt the resistor/fuzes. The OEM sprockets are 16/42 so your -1/+1 atm Whenever you get around to the RAM air intake, you might want to consider gutting the plastic tabs out also. Makes for a cleaner intake and better air flow. Edited April 22, 2012 by SJC1000rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes for a cleaner intake and better air flow.I did not know that about the sprockets until you mentioned it. Apparently they changed up 1 tooth in the rear in '07. I had assumed they were the same as my '03 still. I am going to hot glue and wrap the servo delete in electrical tape, I just thought it was a good picture to have. I am definitely doing the gutting when I get a ram air intake, they are just proving difficult to find and VERY expensive when I do find them. I might have to DIY something I'm curious what was even salvageable from this bike besides the title lol. But keep up the good work brothaHmm, lets see here: subframe, battery tray, stock exhaust, main wiring harness and part of the headlight one, swing arm, rear wheel, front+rear calipers/lines/pads, f+r axles and spacers, tires, 1 clip on and all controls, tail fairing, most of the engine...and that's all I can think of haha. This is truly a Frankenstein of bikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolWhip Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 What is your history? Do you have a lot of experience as a bike mechanic or are you doing this for fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Nope, no formal experience or training with anything I do (bikes, machining, etc.), just fun. I got my first bike about 2 years ago for a steal because it needed a new transmission and I didn't have enough money for anything else. So I read up on what needed to be done and read the service manual and eventually got it done. It took a long time (like 6 months) because I was working 1 or 2 days per month in my brother's garage and didn't really have the proper tools. I thought it was easy enough though, so I eventually ended up buying a basket case '03 600rr from a member on here with a cracked lower crankcase. Again, I just read the service manual and ended up getting that done in a mere 2 1/2 weeks. I felt like having another project and bringing another bike back from the dead so I picked this up. Unfortunately with cash flow, this is taking much longer than expected. It is also coming in over my expected budget by a couple hundred because of a few things that I just didn't plan for (triple trees, ram air tube being so expensive, no gauge cluster).I guess I just have a knack for picking things up easily and fixing things, which I credit to my dad and grandfather. The offer is open to anyone, if anyone is curious or wants to learn more, I am more than happy helping out and teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
