have rode in close to 10 years...last time i was riding kawi kx250's off road...a whole-nother animal i know.ok,now i have a 02 gsxr1000...lowered,extended swing arm,and a few other mods.i know i need to respect the bike.and i'm not the kinda guy that wants to do tricks or anything...honestly...i wanna go out on a nice day,cruise around on the interstate at 60 and enjoy the ride.so how many get togethers do you guys have...weather permitting?

 

1st street bike and you get a Jikky 1K? haha, aight... ummm pics? get a stock swingarm and raise it back up please.

the hangout spot is the BP in va beach on atlantic

 

stock gixxer parts are on ebay all day, especially the K3, put that suspension back to stock bro. trust me.

 

may i ask why do i want to put a stock swingarm back on?

 

Didn't need a liter to do that, pal.

 

no,but i fell into a good deal...and i am 265-270 lbs.

 

that stretched out lowered crap corners poorly, you have no gorund clearance and a stupid long wheelbase, the bike is already a "big" 1000 and with it being lowered, about the only thing its good for is drag racing... it will corner like shit, and if u do get it to turn your gonna scrape plastics...
these arent cars, lowering them makes handling worse, not better.

People that use weight as an excuse for getting a liter bike are misinformed, i know a few dudes in the mid 200s that competatively race 600s.
But you got a deal, so i wont knock you.

 

already found you one....

i'm honestly not looking to drop my knees into any corners either...i knew this was more of a straight line style bike...kinda what i wanted coming from a drag racing mentality with my mustangs.i hope i don't scrape plastics with my heavy ass on it...i can't wait for the weather to break a bit.

 

suit yourself, you cant scrape knee on that, so dont worry, it'll rub on any halfway lean if its as low as i imagine.
