Righto.. Started to pull down my bike a bit last weekend.. Got a little bit done, headlight bars, risers... On the hunt for some nice bar mirrors, some indicators, then I'll be lookin at paint and mabey powdercoating the wheels..
Fitted up some braided front brake lines to it yesterday, ( feels alot better).

Heres a few pics from when I first got it and what it looks like now..
Feel free to comment, I need some advice as ive never built one of these before..:D

That's where my Busa belly pan came from.

There also available from Wild Hair Accessories (http://www.whaccessories.com/Suzuki%20GSX%20R.htm) and Streetfighters Inc (http://www.streetfightersinc.com/GSXR600-750-1100.htm) Both have paypal and both have worldwide shipping, break out the credit card Mick we're at 97 cents, strike while the iron is hot mate..

[Tony Nitrous]

Not sure if the price in Euro's is with or without tax on the GSG site?
(I dont pay UK's VAT on goods they export)
and how P&P compares either,
but at 230 Euro's GSG are still $30AU cheaper i think...maybe....
Price is under "Motorspoiler Road"

....might help if I understood German.

Been chasing a new speedo/tacho, and came across this one.. Seems pretty cool, not to big and shouldn't look too out of place.. Should arrive tommorow I hope..:D

Yes. Maybe not a current model.
If you follow the Youtube link that shows it working,
it was posted up on Nov 15th 2007.
Doesnt make it bad, just maybe old stock ?

[mikey0211]

Its not a knockoff, Not really fussed if its old stock, For the size of the unit, its got all the functions and more than i need and its not gonna stick out like dogs balls like some of the others ive seen.

[mikey0211]

Been a while since ive done anything to the srad.. but in the last few weeks ive got my ass back into gear...

Stripped it right back and sent the frame away for powdercoating..

Was pretty impressed with the outcome..

[mikey0211]

Got the tank and fairings back from the painters..
I went for a metalic satin black.. Looks unreal when its out in full sun... (bit bland in the shed though),,
Managed to get some of the shit back together, still waiting on new bearings for the swingarm and rear shock..

The wheels have been painted the same gold as my drag bars.. hopefully that should break up the blackness a little..
Recieved new levers in the mail yesterday too.

Looking great mate! It has been a while from your last post, coz we never seen the end result here of the paint work. Should look good once she is all up and running.

[K6Thou]

Nice work champ !!! I love these old SRADs.

[Deano]

Coming along nice. What finish did you go with on the frame? Matte or satin?

[mikey0211]

Went for a matt finish on the frame deano

[Deano]

Cool. You happy with the finish?

[Elapid]
