This is late in coming, but I figured I should throw up an official thread as I complete most of my mods this winter.
Picked up this bike on December 31, 2010 to replace my previous SV that was totaled. This was a mint 07 naked and had 722 miles on it at the time.
Embarrassingly - and regrettably - I lowsided the bike on the way home from buying it (cold roads, cold tires, possibly some ice). Oh well, live and learn.
Here she is after finally getting her home:
(bike already had a TwoBro's Ti slipon and a OEM seat cowl)
The bike had a strange oil leak by the time I got it home - turned out it was just a plug not properly torqued down. New crush washer, and I was good to go.
Mods started pretty quickly, as I had to replace the clutch lever, shifter, blinker, and bent handlebars. Radiator came off to be repaired. Installed a Hamicad FE, reflective wheel stripes, and Motosliders while I was at it.
Went ahead and added a full set of Rizoma zero-11s gold Renthal ultra low handlebars, and Moto-Deluxe bar end mirrors at a later point. Also debaged it.
Painted the headlight ring black:
Eventually I added a few other bits during the summer of 2011 - Tech Spec tank pads, ZX10R shock, Fazzo levers, Rearset riser plates. I'm pretty bad at documenting work with pictures though. Instead, I did some touring and my first track day. Mods went on hold until the winter.
June 2011
August 2011
At the beginning of winter, the mod list was as follows:
06 ZX10R Rear Shock
Renthal Ultra low 7/8" Gold Handlebars
Moto-deluxe Bar-end Mirrors
Rizoma Zero-11 Turn Signals
Hamicad Fender Eliminator
Two Brothers Titanium Slip-on
Fazzo shorty levers
OEM seat cowl (not pictured)
R6 Throttle Tube
Steve's aTRE
SVRacing Parts Rearset Riser Plates
Motosliders Frame and Swing Arm Sliders
Tapeworks Reflective Wheel Stripes
Tech Spec C3 Tank Grips
2011/2012 Winter TO DO:
08/09 GSXR 600 Forks, Master Cylinder, Calipers, Fender, Lower Triple (painted black)
06/07 GSXR 750 Front Wheel and Rotors
06/07 Steering Damper
Hall Effect Sensor Speedo Mod
Custom Machined Upper Triple (GJScott - SVRider member)
Custom SS Spiegler Front Brake Lines - smoked, gold fittings, black bolts
Motovation Front Axle Sliders
OEM Chin Fairing
Powdercoat: radiator covers, headlight brackets, passenger pegs, handlebar clamps
This was the sorry looking box that showed up with my GSXR front end! Thankfully everything turned out to be in good shape, despite initial appearances.
Went ahead and painted the lower triple satin black:
All the parts ready to go:
Work in Progress. Off with the old: (blurry cell phone pic)
In with the New:
Still need to tie up a bunch of loose ends:
- SS lines have been installed, but the pistons in the calipers don't retract fully. Need to clean the pistons and possibly rebuild the calipers
- need to install speedo
- paint/install chin fairing
- PCed various pieces
Should be able to work through these in January and February. Already looking forward to spring!
