I painted my radiator side guards, steering dampener, shifter rod, and my oil cooler guard... And I made a radiator guard, too! Cost me $2.50 :vroom:

Painting clutch cover, water pump cover, stator cover and sprocket cover gloss black tomorrow, and my passenger footpeg hangers orange in addition to my rearsets (minus the actual pegs)

Finished my gsxr front end swap! woo hoo! well, mostly finished. I couldn't wait until monday for the clamps for the headlight and gauge cluster so I zip tied them on and went out for a shakedown ride :D
complete '08 gsxr1000 front, also fresh rubber front and back, and plasti-dipped the rear wheel to match the new black front.

Nice!

I just stuck on new tank grips from the Hammer man...
 
Fixed crash damage from last round. Installed clutch perch I got from a member here.
 
16/42?!!?!?? What are you doing hypermiling? Trying to go 180? Dang
It's a SV1K, stock gearing is 17/40, -1 +2. It's actually a little lower top-end but wheelies off the throttle pretty easy now. The power down low is crazy now, too; before I barely used 6th gear (legally) now it is actually usable as a freeway overdrive and it redlines it pretty easily. Plus, I have an excuse for keeping it spooled up all the time and hearing that beautiful exhaust noise now :naughty:

Oooh. The lack of duals didn't even make me look to see if it was a liter sv. That's pretty sweet then :rock:
 
Completely destroyed a contimotion in less than 3k miles. Bought myself an 06 gsxr 750 wheel with a michelin pilot power tire for a good price on ebay. Front sprocket should be in tomorrow, but the rear sprocket on the wheel ended up being 47 tooth and my new chain won't be long enough, so I think I'll just get a 45 tooth for now.



The rim tape that's on there is crappy, but I don't totally hate it. Once I get a black front wheel I might get fluorescent yellow or as close to gold as I can and do both wheels.
