GSXR750 K8 Fighter Project

[OzmaK8]

Okay so i had a bit of an accident with my 08 GSXR 750, i was a bit sad and dissapointed for a while there but i've decided to turn it into a street fighter now so i just thought i'd show everyone where im up to with everything. Their are a few things i didnt account for that have come up but i'll slowly get through them all. wish me luck

Pulling it to pieces. Had to take the swingarm off to get a cracked weld fixed.

Nice work, I like the headlight mate

[Ross_247]

yeah thats gonna be a cool machine : )

[Docktor]

imagine ridin that for a whole year before ya got the courage up to toss it down the road so ya sacrifice it to the fighter gods.
should be a ball terror mate

[Weaselman]

whats that light off mate? KTM?

[LKC73]

Looks like a great start mate! The headlight is a cool looking unit.

[Fight_fan]

Nice work man! I like the headlight too hey! I'd possibly lower it a tad tho! Keep the lines flowing... Good start tho!

[mitch.lax]

Looks like a brilliant project. As doc said, took you long enough to purposly wreck the fairings :D

Couldn't say for sure if its off a KTM i know its made for dirt bikes but i think it can fit onto just about anything.

[drewboy]

can see it taking shape nicely, headlight looks spot on and suits well, will look better if you move it down so the bottom of the headlight assembly is the same height as the bottom triple clamp. looking good mate

Yeah i would like to do that, but the steering dampner is in the way. any ideas on what i could do here ?

[drewboy]

you could try to relocate it to the top, or down lower with a bracket for the frame mount, and a fork clamp for where it attaches to the fork. Or you could just remove it, but it would be better left on now that you have wider/straighter than standard clip-ons.

Do you know where i could find a lowering link for my bike for cheap ? Or if i could make one ?

[Fight_fan]

Depends how its mounted mate! Rekon u could most likely make one!

That's a helluva base bike for a streetfighter project. It's gonna kick arse.

Bit of an update.

[Weaselman]

If you got that light off ebay can you give me the supplier?

[rod185651]

Looking really good, any exhaust ideas?

[OzmaK8]

Nah mate i didnt get it off ebay i just found it on this website and got my local dealer to contact them and get me one. i think its was like $150 or somethin.

http://trailtech.net/motorcycle_lights.html

For the exhaust im thinking either have a slash cut race pipe off the side like the jardine GP1 or have one coming out each side. it should be getting made up this week ill throw some pics up when its done.

[Harry]

geez that looks so much cleaner with the plastic off hugh, you'll have a better bike than wat you first bought mate....good luck with the re-build mate

[Gitzy]

Now thats coming along just nicely, Kudos to you.. I was only looking at them Trailtech headlights at the KTM shop the other day thinking geez this would make a good fighter headlight, you proved me right, first one i've seen and looks the goods..

[OzmaK8]

Bit of an update. Just got a few bits from AUSFR and couldnt be more happier with them. Not much to go now.

See ExBen, that exhaust/muffler he had on VENOM was fucking sweet and would look cool on that;).

[OzmaK8]

What does everyone reckon about this little yoshimura exhaust ?

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1269200427.jpg

[Gitzy]

I like it, looks neat and tidy.. are you still sticking with the trail tech headlight or ???

[OzmaK8]

Yeah i was considering having a few interchangeable tips and this would be one of them. Yeah Gitzy i still want to use that trailtech light im just having a few drama's mounting it up the steering dampner is just right in the way of it, need to work something out for it.

[robmac]

I like the exhaust but I'm biased as I've got one coming from the states too...

[Gitzy]

Hey Hughy found a blue 600 with a little slash cut zorst even has your headlight..

[slickncghia]

is that headlight the dualsports $100 one or the $80 one. does it have CE approved lenses? also ... is it any good at lighting?

ive had crap cheap headlights before but this one looks good and seems like it might have decent lighting

sorry for the hijack

[rod185651]

I reckon the yoshi is a winner mate.

[OzmaK8]

Haha that near on exactly what i want except black, and i plan to have a tip like that slash cut bit that i can bolt back on and off whenever i please :P i cant see the steering dampner though looks like they've moved it, got any more photo's Gitzy ? Is this person on this forum ?

Hey slick i cant tell you much about the headlight as i havent had it on and working yet, and im not sure on the CE approval but i reckon you could find out off the trailtech website, they are made for enduro dirt bikes so i'd say they have to be half decent.

[Gitzy]

Found it floating in my gixer collection, only 1 photo sorry mate.. do the 600's have dampner standard?? if so maybe thought he could do without it..

[Fight_fan]

That zorst looks the goods I rekon mate! On a winner with that!

That's what the B-king should look like.

[RevHead]

funny thing is i just started to make a similar ova flow bottle, shittt, the bike looks great ,,only the front tyre scares me being that bald ,

[OzmaK8]

Got a little bit more done now, its pretty close to being able to go back on the road again, but its far from finished in my eyes :P

[mozza]

Have you thought of fitting a bikkini fairing to hide the headers a little ?

[Gitzy]

Thats gonna be soooo much fun..

[OzmaK8]

Yeah mozza i still want some kind of belly pan but im yet to find something to fit, unless you know of anything or anywhere i could find something for it ? Got any ideas or reccomendations you want to throw my way ?

Yeah gitzy took it for a blast done the road this afternoon, put a smile on my dial haha.

[rod185651]

I like it a lot, nice build mate, any chance of taking some photos of it outside?

[OzmaK8]

Just thought i would put some pictures up to show my bike off in the sun. Unfortunately i have to sell my bike so if anyone is intrested keep an eye out for it in the for sale area on the forums or get in contact with me on here.
