This bike is crying out for Black anodized GSX-R forks

Everyone has an opinion. I agree with Cal about the black GSXR forks though.

Ok. I'll compromise. Conventional R6 forks!

Well gold valves for my forks finally arrived after being ordered almost 3 months. And my adapters aren't in the order. Ignore the little things in life.

Threw on my header and collector quick. Gonna move my oil cooler mount to give me a little more clearance. Also gonna start figuring out how I'm going to bend the back of the collector so the can clears the swingarm.

Those rear shocks 'Rock'

Ac couple of pie cuts before the foot peg, create just enough angle to kick the can out.

Or, add a length of straight tubing to extend the megaphone mouth beyond the swing arm, tilting it up via the extension.

Or, a rigid mount attached to the backside of the megaphone that pushes the can outward.

The hole in the hoop by your rearset is conveniently located for a clamp mount, but you probably already figured that out

This bike looks way cooler than I thought it would. Great paint! Still hoping for a GSX-R fork transplant. It deserves it.

Thanks cal! If my exhaust doesn't sell soon so I can get the mc-again system I'm going to start doing pie cuts to get me where I need to be.

The mc-again system has hand bent head pipes and give me alot of clearance with the swingarm. I do like the look of the delkevic but am open to not having to cut up the collector.

Thanks Mike!

The light is fully adjustable and comes with a dimmer switch, so can go to low output all the way up to full. 2000 lumens on this bad boy! Crazy bright!

Need some input on front number plate. I'm struggling with the angle of it. I'm started to think I mount it flush against the forks and cut out around the clip ons and gauge and then bend some aluminum to go over those areas.

I vote for cutting out relief spots for the clip-ons, so it can sit flush. It looks "off" canted forward.

catsoup · « **Reply #393 on:** March 28, 2017, 05:46:05 AM »

is the headlight going behind the number plate? i think flush is the better angle, but there will be a lot of holes, no?

innovativems · « **Reply #394 on:** March 28, 2017, 07:10:04 AM »

The light will poke through alittle bit. Only that hole and if I do cuts around the clip ons I'm planning to bend some aluminum to go over that area and either rivet it of weld it to the number plate

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to glass my own number plate.

That's what I was gonna run but with the shapes to go around the clip ons and my gauge I could glass it quick and paint it to match. Might do a small glass fender too
