I hope you get to see this, since this topic has not been touched for over a year.
Would you mind sharing where you got the
LED Front Blinkers
LED Integrated Tail
Thank you
Long time no update.
Last weekend I did the following:
Rejet 20/60/147.5
K&N lunchbox
V&H Exhaust
89 Clipons
Removed Center stand
New Gel Progrips.
pics to come but she is ugly right now (no fairings)
hey,
I just bought shinko sr740, same as one in the pictures...
I have done 600-700miles on it and I am extremely satisfied. cheap and does the trick.
I can't find any reviews, but a few references here and there, all very bad.
basically tire to avoid. But my experience is totally different.
What about yours?
tnx.
Don't know what's on your front fender by get rid of that ugly thing!
I have had no real issues with my shinko, it rides great but does run low on air more often than I would like.
The fender had a parking sticker for UT from the previous owner, it was basically welded onto the fender. I have pulled the fender and removed the offending sticker, but I have yet to put it back on.
Another thing I forgot to add to the list was a upgraded fork brace, holy cow that thing is AWESOME! feels sooo responsive, my wish is the bikes command.

I put on IRC roadwinners front and rear, and am very happy with the tires. they're kind of meh in the wet, but its hard to tell if its the tire, or the new blacktop they're putting everywhere that seems to bleed oil in the rain.
on normal days, even if I make a mistake or push the bike too hard they are very forgiving and i am always able to regain control.
Bringing back an old post!
dood,
I bought a kat wheel and in the middle of trying to decide what tire to put on it. I'm strongly considering the BT-023. Just wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on the tire. I'd be running the same size, 150/70.
Also, I was wondering if you had to bend the brake lever bar or space the sprocket out to clear the tire at all.
Thanks!
So I don't have a ton of pictures yet, but I will be getting them soon.
The BT-023 is flippin amazing.
So, Mods so far
Kat rear wheel
GSXR Aluminum Brake Arm
150/70 BT-23 Rear
110/70 Hypersport S20 Front
Vance and Hines All flat black.
LED Gauges inside of a Flat Black Housing
Integrated LED tail
89 Clipons painted Flat Black
Super Fork Brace
Kat 750 Rear Shock
ProGrip Grips
Ebay Bar Ends
Flat Black everywhere (still need to do the tank and redo the fairings)
Fenderectomy
LED Headlight
K&N Lunchbox
20/65/147.5 Jets
R6 Throttle tube
15T Front Sprocket
Sintered Brake Pads
I think I have just about every normal performance upgrade available...

You havent changed out the cams yet :flipoff:
http://www.megacyclecams.com/
I think like 5 people have cammed the GS500 lol, Though, if I ever get a new engine I might build it out
Pretty easy to do I think. You could always be #6 and I will follow your lead :thumb:
I would love to go all out, bore the engine, new cams, up the redline, redo the valves and port it, throw in new springs, throw in emulators, and go balls to the wall with the little thing, but I also want a F4i one of these days and I don't have the money for 2 bikes. I would like to get the F4i before they get so old and rare that I can't pick up a clean 01-03.
I want my bike to look exactly like this. :bowdown: Just with a bit glossier black.

Thats my bike as it sits now...
I am trying to upgrade to a F4i soon.
