So my old man came around for dinner last month and left with a toothpick and the R1.... And because I'm super original I've gone from the R1 to a Gixer just like Jules :-) I was aiming at a 92-99 Blade but this came up and I've always loved this model.
As they say LET THE MADNESS BEGIN.

'03-'04 ? Looks like a tidy example mate.
Looking forward to this.
Good stuff gitzy
Are you going to make it into a crane?
First of all nice project.
Second I don't have a bike atm so your a bastard.
Yep K3..
Good suggestion Rich and maybe..
Soz Weasel..
Go retro.
Bug eyes and a stubby RGV tail.
Get rid of that fucken huge cigar would be my first target, phew that's a doozie!
Good Luck and do it how YOU want it!
haha, Nice one Gitzy. So what's the plan with this one?
get stuck into it mate...cant wait to see the progress
I'm thinking red and white paint, maybe some skulls...
Maybe a brutale tail??? Lol
Nah probably same plan as R1 keeping it simple and clean I'm not to creative.
Get a race RSV4 tail. They are sexy.
Well, I've got my hands on a Ducati subframe for an upcoming project :D
Too bad i sold the carbon tail a few years ago. Doh!!!
Hang on to the panels if you can Gitzy was the only year they did the copper as a limited run
I had a mt03 headlight mount on mine with the gauges mounted off the back - it's in my posts somewhere
Tre, +2 on the back and velocity stacks make a nice improvement (also a nice pipe is much better than the cannon) I had a Nikko hipipe on mine which gave a nice note - Yoshis with the oval outlets sound good to
Big fan of that model and colour, get into it!
I've got one of these. Awesome motors. Wheelies for days. Interested to see where you go with this.
So since NFR is like a month away and Russ has inspired me to pull my finger out to actually do something I went on a bit of a shopping spree.
I'm cheapin out for now and just modifying the top yoke, so some risers and bars were the first thing..
Scar ebay jobbies were on the menu..

I thought I'd lash out on the bars though and not do the usual renthal fatties I had on the R1 so I went ABM Superbike bars in Black..

Good old bar end mirrors were the go to I have a thing for them

Also went for some Renthal road race grips never tried em but heard they were alright.

Extended lines were in need to so goodridge will do the trick.

Because I'm a lanky fucker I found these riser/lowering plates for the rearsets so 1" back and 1" down to maybe make it a lil bit more comfortable.

Also purchased some new spark plugs, air filter, oil filter etc etc.. give her a little freshen up ready for NFR..
And went for this headlight unit, I've always liked them so I thought why not..
