Renthal grips fitted & wheels and spindles in & torqued up. Just need to torque up the fork pinch bolts & i'm now waiting on some 5mm spacers to fit the calipers back on (which should hopefully be on my doormat when I get home after work)

I've also ordered a carbon Suzuki S sticker to cover the current green one on the tank (couldn't find a blue suzuki S sticker for tank online). I'll also be removing the preload adjusters & spraying them black when I find a allen key small enough to get them off.
Also put an offer in for a tank on eBay (after i'd already bought the tank sticker), so the current tank may well be coming off if all goes to plan.
Still waiting on the fairings, the seller is taking ages |

And that's where we differ, I have huge love for this GSXR. Ridden it for 2 days and instantly fallen in love with it. Where as my current 954 Blade i've never really gelled with, even after 7 months of ownership.
Also, it's worked out at a very reasonable price for what i've got...
Bike : £3,250
Wheels, tyres and discs : £750
Fairings : £325
Airduct & Mudguard sprayed : £60
Tank : £70
-£330 (for original wheels and discs)
So for £4,125 i've got a K6 with 14k miles, FSH, Micron can & decat, ECU flashed (reads 170 at the wheel according to dyno print out), OZ wheels and a spare set of fairings & tank. Bargain imo. |

In fact the sides are different too
*goes off to check google images*
*edit*
Using my Google powers it seems both front side fairings are correct.
Yours are the k5 and mine are the k6 (which it is). Never noticed that before!
There is still a stripe missing from your rear though ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

Quick update...
Bought a few things:
Bar end mirrors (actually pretty good for a tenner!)
Carbon end can, carbon hanger & link pipe (£60 used bargain, will do until I can find a reasonably priced 300mm Carbon Yoshi TRS)
Pro Bolt blue chain adjust blocks
Blue undertray, because white is a ballache to clean.
Brembo RCS 19x18 & reservoir. Brakes on this GSXR are defo' one of it's weak spots, this should help.
Most of the above isn't fitted yet.
Bike's been amazing bar one issue*. I've been changing bikes every 6-12 months, but the GSXR I want to keep until it dies or I kill it, they really are amazing bikes.
*No bike is perfect, common issue on these GSXR's... Due to a poor design of the clutch, results in the clutch being starved of oil. When you get to the biting point and apply any decent amount of throttle the bike jerks pretty violently and sometimes stalls. To resolve this you fit the clutch wave washers out of a K7/8 and/or drill some holes in your clutch works too . Not too much of a nuisance, but it makes racing off the line impossible
Most recent pic's I have:

You sir need a Yoshi Japan Tri-Oval. TRS looks too long for that shape IMO, although Stainless TRS is silly cheap. Circa £300. ____________________ My Flickr |

Sorry, I know there's not many people interested but i'm doing this for me to look back over more than anything else.
Fitted since last photo posted: Silver spot calipers, Brembo 19x18 m/c, HEL red braided lines, Blue undertray (used to be white), Tygon rear brake res', Carbon fibre rear hugger and chain guards. I've also removed the white rim tape and tank grips.
Brembo master cylinder and the Yamaha monoblocks with some fresh SBS race sinter pads are a lethal combo. I can't even imagine what the 19x20 is like, as the 19x18 doesn't feel progressive as it's been described, it's extremely sharp from the initial bite with no play/sponginess in the lever.
How she's looking now...

The wheels will be going white for the summer too hopefully...
Current:

White wheels:

The last bits left to do...
-Fit and buy; Healtech quick shifter, carbon fiber infill panel, rearsets & GB Racing engine covers
-Figure out why the bikes leaning so far over on the side stand
-I'm certain I have an oil leak, investigate. (will do this on the weekend, as it's urgent). |
