My GSXR1000

IT'S REALLY MY 2003 R1....I'M A YAMAHA MAN.



Yet another makeover of my bike. I love to tinker but refuse to make them look too pretty because it hurts my feelings even more when I have little bo bo's...

Dito I've always had a soft spot for flat black. Manic, do you still do side work on forks and the like?

Yeah, forks are about the only thing I still do.

Man, that looks awesome....I really dig that flat black....

That looks sweet man. I have to ask, are the carbon fiber frame covers for looks or are they hiding some "bo bos"?

[minig0d]

sweet... kinda wierd without hte front sprocket cover on though... kinda reminds me of the flat black R6... http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/minig0d/flatblackr6.jpg

Beautiful. What year is it?

[Shakey75]

Cool. Did the gixxer tail bolt right on to it?

[jason70360]

The tail on that R6 is fugly. Why is the top so flat? I much rather the suki tail on the R1

[thedrizel]

The carbon fiber covers do hide a big bo bo on the right side of the frame. I purchased the bike totaled in 2003. I have had several editions of the same bike. This is just my latest project. I have done a LOT of work to this bike and I'm sure the trend will continue.

Shakey, HELL NO. The tail did not just bolt up. I cut the sub frame in half, narrowed it 3 inches, bolted it together and covered the bottom and sides with sheet metal. I then had to remount all the electronics. I also had to modify the tail I purchased with a cutting wheel and grinder.

It's not a perfect job. With time, I could make it look factory, but with my limited metal working tools, this will do for now.

Thanks for the replies peeps. I'm happy with the results for now. I wish the 03 R1 didn't have such a FUGLY tail section stock.

damn thats kinda harsh eh... I actually would prefer the R1 tail section then my R6's

[thedrizel]

Wow. I just weighed my bike today with about a half tank of fuel.

202 lbs on front wheel and 196lbs on rear. 398lbs WET and street legal!

That is my hot rod.

Man, that's a awesome bike!

[blkhalo996]

Looks awesome!!!

At first glance on your first pic,,,,the GSXR tail looks short and it made it appear that you had a stretch swingarm. But I could never, never see you trying that one.

I love the black look also.
