Turning a wrench as much as twisting the throttle.

Default Turning a wrench as much as twisting the throttle.

For some reason I found it necessary to tinker with my current bike more than any other bike I’ve had. One of the main reasons is the work I’ve done on another message board and its influence. But at the end of the day I think I’ve created something quite unique. Most everything is practical, a few items just for show, with others just for the track but nothing that compromises the ability to ride it into work on a daily basis.

So far (in no order):
Eurobikes undertail that I cut up and modified to my own design.
Gear position indication that incorporates a semi-active TRE (does not affect neutral map).
I purchased a Yosh (R-421) box so I could remap my bike when I wanted to (same one dealer uses).
Typical brake upgrades but went a little further: Front - ZX12R calipers, Busa Rotors, Goodridge lines, EBC HH pads; 04 GSXR 750 radial master cylinder. Rear 01 GSXR 1K caliper and 04 GSXR 1k rotor.
Forks from a 03 TLR (uses .94kg springs and better valving verses the TLS .74kg springs), also gold anodized.
Swingarm from a TLR modified to fit the TLS and painted black.
Bitubo conventional rear shock (gets rid of the rotary damper completely).
Bitubo steering damper with carbon fiber casing.
Custom made billit clutch cover with clear window.
TLR fender
Custom painted hugger
Coerce Sprocket Guard
Gutted and remolded airbox with fiberglass (with the obligatory K&N filter).
520 chain conversion using a STEALTH sprocket (-1/+2) and gold RK chain.
Full Yoshimura exhaust that has been modified into a 2-1 system
TLR battery box custom mounted onto side of frame and relocated electronics.
Liquid black paint job



My wallet hates me.
