It has been a long time since I've posted up on here but I just bought a new bike and thought I'd share it with you all!
It started as a KWS Superbike, GSXR-1000 full Yoshimura System, PCIII, ProTaper Bars, etc.
Getting dyno tuned/tested again this Saturday and I'll have up to date performance numbers but as is it power wheelies in 3rd gear and I can clutch up wheelie at 130mph... pretty ridiculous but hella fun. Cheers!
EDIT: Oh yeah, last Dyno before the can was shortened (see top photo) it was putting out 165.7 RWHP and 74LB./FT. of Torque.

See signature, I still have the CB550...
Good. Keep it.
I love it :thumb:
Is that a trailer auxillary light? Doesn't look like a headlight to me.
No, it is a headlight, it's only one from a dual set, I'm in the process of fabbing up a new headlight system, it has new grips, mirrors and the like but the headlight is the last thing I'm switching.
I like it. :thumb:
Giggity giggity.

Thanks for the compliments all, it is a handful but only when you crack it open, pretty docile and smooth under 4k rpms... now 11k rpms is straight up terrifying.
Dude ... that still doesn't answer my question ...
So its some type of GSXR - OK fine. Close enough.
Cool.

At what RPM? I am surprised the torque is that low.
Can you post a closer pic of the mount for the steering stabilizer? I need to fab one and I like their design.

This first post says that it's a GSXR-1000... It's a K4.
Dgyver, bike is in the parking lot, I can't take great quality pics (camera phone) but I'll snap some of what you want, let me know specifically what you want to see...
As for the Torque, I'll have a new read tomorrow afternoon, will post pics once it gets scanned in.

A pic of the mount on the steering head would be great.
Nice streetfighter. Love that look. Gotta get a short, obnoxiously loud can though.....lol

is just awesome... if you used a flash so the bike would show up a little more... it would be perfect !

Here ya go Dgyver, the bike has a stock steering damper so this bolted right on.

Thanks. Just what I needed. Actually that looks like an Ohlins damper, just like the one I have. :thumb:

Yep, Ohlins damper up front.
mmmm, that thing is sexy.
i'm not sure about the tail though... doesnt look pointy enough. ;) and i'd probably change the headlight too. dominators maybe?
awesome :thumb:
I'm actually thinking I'll go with a set of Aztec 8, 5 3/4" lamps:

p.s. SmartDrug, I'd be happy to take this down if you object to the post-processing of your photo.
That looks great.
