Title: For the off-season
Post by: Roadstergal on October 09, 2005, 07:20:52 PM
I'm thinking about streetfighter-ing the GSXR.  Getting a raptor fairing off of fleaBay, getting a scratched-up tail and painting it, and pulling the race plastics off.  I want to ride it more...

Then do it. Why even bother with a Raptor fairing? Just go full naked on that sucker.

I need a headlight of some kind, and I think that's the best-looking solution for under $100.

Look for ebayed speed four or speed triple lights. Or even 85-87 GSXR lights. All the same dual headlight dealy.

Ibe got a raptor fairing for sale. let me know if you want it

RG, that is a great idea!

Speed Triple set up would look cool.  As would a Kawi Z1000 headlight.  That is the best looking one, IMHO.

I interpreted "off season" == "no more track time season"...thus not wanting to let the gixxer entropy in the garage when there is perfectly good road time available.  I assume the stock fairings are long gone (shame?)

Ugh.  Speaking of the end of the season though...I'm watching the weather forecast as I type this.  It rained through the entire weekend...rain that would make Noah take stock of lumber on hand...rivers everywhere overflowing their banks, taking roads with them...some areas got up to 11 inches of rain...and it looks like it's not supposed to stop until the end of next weekend.   :?  Although we might get a one-day reprieve on Wednesday.  It may be time to see how waterproof my gear really is.  What a crappy weekend it was...and a faux long weekend at that.

Blech.

It's an excuse invented by us northerners to give the motorcycles a rest for a couple of months and take out the snowmobiles.

I would get some type of plastic and headlight and ride that sucker any chance I could if I were you.

P.S.  red fun fur would be kick ass on a old set of plastic ;)

That is by far that is the BEST avatar you have ever had. :thumb:

:) I will go out on a limb a say the only pic that would be better would be you in your leathers sitting on your bike with your hair in pig tails.  :cheers:     How many others would like to see that?

The only thing hotter than a chick in full leather dragging a knee is a snowboarder chick pulling a rodeo.

There was a young girl from Madras
Who had a most marvelous ass.
It's not what you think
Not rounded and pink
But was brown, had long ears, and ate grass.
