Hi oz,Looks like your bike is coming along good. Hate that about your foot, it seems like its always someone else you gota look out for. Just curious, you said you removed the belly pan,are you gona reuse it? If not would you be interested in selling it?

[oz353]

well I guess you actually did beat me to finishing yours.

Since mine didnt Stay 100% for very long. hahaha

But, headed to NJ tomorrow morning after work to pick up that 01 engine with 6K on it only, that had a video of it running and sounding 100%!

So hopefully I will be all ready to go come May!

Already put my time off request for the 17th and 18th of May as im off the 19th 20th and 21st.
I plan to sleep through the night of Thursday the 17th and leave first thing Friday morning.
Had to request the 17th as I work graveyard and I cant ride out there friday morning after working all night.

I plan to pinch my pennies next pay and then I get paid on the 18th that im headed out, so I will have some money to go with me.

If its nice out, plan to have a cookout at my brothers with his family, most likely on Saturday. (my treat)
So if we ride Saturday as well, i'll see if you and whoever else rides is welcome to come over for eats!

thats as long as lady luck sticks by me! hahaha

i'll keep ya posted!

Before.



After.






I had to remove the center stand  Oh well, it sounds mean as hell now. More befitting of its name. (Blue Demon)  I haven't rejetted yet  So i will most likely revert it to stock while i finish it up. I have to grind the welds down re-weld if needed and re-grind then paint.
Cant decide if I want to paint entirely black or just up to the beginning taper of the muffler.

Quick "paint" job.

UPDATE: lunchbox, carb screw kit, carb gasket kit, jets, and two sets of these pegs on the way  http://www.amazon.com/Suzuki-GSXR-1000-Black-Rear/dp/B000VY2VUM

Im excited!!!!

[Tombstones81]

Nice!!

but what happened to that nice shiny exhaust???
leave it out in the rain?

also, not 100% sure yet how its looking on riding out there next Friday for the weekend now.

atm, on the hunt for employment as of yesterday......

not sure if I will get benefits either.

(edit)

cant make it out to Pitt for at least the rest of this month now. ><

called my brother and let em know I might not make it.
told me to wait until after this month tho as he has to work every weekend now to make up a week he had to take off.
so he pretty much wont Ever be home for the month.

[oz353]

Damn! well hopefully you will get here safely. with in the next week.

Update:  I have finally recieved all my parts for the rejet and exhaust. And on saturday they were installed.
I did a quick carb clean, rejet, K&N lunchbox, and installed my custom exhaust.
Ended up with a throttle cable issue, reving when turning handlebars.
I had disconnected the cable from the controls so as not to disturb its already perfect adjustment.
Turns out the cable jacket was twisted after reinstalling everything. A couple twists and all was well.
Then I had an issue of bogging with partial throttle from idle. Installed second set of washers on the needles, no more bogging.
Test riding produced impossibly wide smiles and lots of woohooo's.
There is alot of popping on decel so I started looking for a problem. Found both carb boots leaking on the engine side.
I still have gaskets from the kit I bought to rebuild the 89's engine. So I will try replacing those seals first and if no joy I shall be in need of some good condition carb boots.
I had also ordered a ss screw kit. I had thought it was just for the carbs... Nope. It is for the carbs and engine! Bonus!
Ill post some pics once I get around to transfering them to my computer.
