Re: Post what you ride!
So much to change before i think of it as mine...
98 GSX-R 750 injected
I was looking for something older but decided i just didn`t have enough wrench experience to grab an older project, so instead i went for something turn key and ready to ride immediately....Bike runs 100% im definatley happy for what i paid.
-Raise the bike back up to stock height.
-Grips and bar ends have to go, i hate the metal grips even with gloves on.
-exhaust is obviously had some love taps so thats gotta go.
-Take out the chicken wire
-change the signals, ones broken off.
-SEAT, omg that thing is ugg, Also be taking passenger seat off for a cowl....i don`t like passengers.
-Aaaaand im prolly just going to buy a complete fairing set with one of the original vinyl schemes.

Re: Post what you ride!
you know, i normally steer far far far away from ebay however they sell complete fairing kits on there for less than $300
here the set i was looking at, i just need to do some research on these kits before i decide to buy. i dont wanna end up with something where the fitment is sub par and just pisses me off.

Theres always the possibility ill go naked and switch the rear fairing to one that is one piece with cowl along with a Mono headlamp. I`de much rather bring the bike back to a nice clean and simple stock look though, I never was one to be flashy... IMO you`re bike has the ideal look for me and hope to have this thing looking much cleaner very soon.
