Figure I might as well do it right and this engine will last me hopefully another 20 yearsEvery post ive read about building (from what i can recall) and engine suggests replacing the primary chain and tensioner but they dont say why. What the reasoning behind replacing them beside age?

Since you are going to replace/rebuild the valvetrain, have you also considered porting the head? Increasing the displacement to an 836? $190! Great deal on the GSXR front. How's the clearance on the brake calipers to the spokes (assume you are lacing up the front)? Do you need to machine off (shave) material from the wheel side of the calipers?I like the look of this bike, especially with the blue tank.
Your pace of progress is very encouraging, following this thread as I will soon be disassembling my 72K2. Would be extremely helpful if you could post a list of everything you replaced within the engine (gaskets, seals, o-rings pretty much anything....I plan to do this when I open up mine) so that a noob like me can plan ahead and have all the stuff at hand before diving in.

Porting and bigger pistons and machine work would be out of my current budget. I havent been able to mock up the entire front end since I still have to drop of my wheels for powder coating before I lace them. I still have parts coming in so as they start coming in i will start putting it together. Also, the tank is a greenish color but the filter changed it up a bit but i will be keeping the stock tank

Jojo - what hub is that in your earlier picture (I assume its for the front end). And what hub are you planning for the rear?
Damn Jojo, thanks for the invite to the party! Well it's better to be late then never to show up... Subscribed!
Looks good.. 350 seems steep for a front hub.. I may be able to do better than that.

I was able to find a dual disk hub and 19" 2.5" wheel for 160. All I need now is to redrill my hayabusa rotors and buy some spacers/bearings and the front will be done. Still need to buy a front fender.

My 07 GSXR600 front end is enroute to my place right now. Planning on going with the hub you quoted earlier. I talked with him in detail about it. Even swapped some numbers over the phone on specs. He told me 320.
