Bike is SWEET, 110% of what he said he was sending, and everything went together perfectly!
Now, to save up again, strip her back down, and get everything powder coated!
Once again, THANKS!

Oh lmfao, oops.
Yea, the tab and the mounting point that goes in the hole on the right side is snapped, have yet to plastic weld it back together, so it isn't perfect condition. Previous owner did a number on it.
If you have a nice black rear and a late model tank w/o dents, i'd give it to ya for cheap. I want to go gunmetal, and I cant be without my tank while its getting painted, so Planning on painting a second one, than selling the blue one with the plastics.
PM'D AGAIN!!!
Beautiful.
I think the k1-k3 E's and naked K4+'s look a lot better than the older style E's

Those crash guards are pretty awesome! :thumb:
What are those little guards over the fork dust seals? Where may I buy a pair?
Nice job! Glad all the parts worked out for you.
Looks like you still need front reflectors, stainless steel chain guard (maybe painted black) and black peg mounts. I'd go black on the heel guards, too. I did that to Suzi - looks better. Paint those silver plastic caps for access to the shock black, too. I've only seen silver ones. Painted all mine black to match the frame.
If you saved the silver plastic caps from your stock bar mounts, stick two on the bolts holding the top plate.
As a safety issue, rear side reflectors and front side reflectors are important. I have the front reflectors that mount on the triple. Or buy the Harley stick-ons that I use.
BRIAN: Newer forks came with rock deflectors.
PROTECTOR 51201-01DD0 $14.88.
I'd have to check my parts bins to see if I have any I can spare. They do show up on ebay once in a while.
FYI: Crash guards are Renntec that I wasn't going to use. Headlight was from the '89 parts bike I bought a couple weeks ago. Bars are Euro type 1 which I had on the shelf. Tail light Clear Alternatives I didn't need (I use the smoke one from lights4all in Germany). There was other stuff but I don't remember right now.
OTHER PARTS: I do have a set of "F" tail plastics that were painted black. Also front headlight and windshield and rest of front plastics - though they were painted fugley black. Also matching ignition, gas and seat lock sets.

I'm still single and available.
I love those engine guards, I wish i could find a pair of the simple ones some where.
ho-hum, another gs much pertier than mine.

If a pair surface in your bins, I'd happily buy them!
Everyone, thanks for the kind words, as always, its a continuing work in progress!
I just picked up a new exhaust clamp, this time heavy duty, and a take-off set of rear gsxr pegs!
Everything will eventually be painted/powder coated black.
Adidas,
I plan on getting blue reflective stripes for my rims once I repaint/powdercoat them, they're scratched up from the previous owner.
Oh, and a stainless chain guard is on my todo list in a few months, need to let the misses checkbook go by a few pages so she don't realize I just dropped 250 on awesome goods!

love the 89's, rear end, tail light, and roundie light up front. the crash cage is a must have. very clean bike, very nice. get some buell signals to replace the (tastefully enough as is) shorty stockers and you'll be surprised how much better it looks. more modern, without 'trying'.
very nice bike, enjoy the ride !

I think I want to put the red lenses back on with the integrated signals.
Signal wise, I'd like a nice set of shorty stalks, and I was thinking the same thing. Been scouring the local parts shop for a cheap pair. It'll pop up, always does!
FYI: Remember certain legal requirements for reflectors and lighting:
Orange: front, each side
RED: Rear, each side and on the tail
You can add any other reflective material of any color (told that by a Seattle bike cop) but that doesn't replace the requirements for orange and red reflectors.
Turn signals: Must be same height and at least 9" apart. Front pair does not have to be same height as rear pair, but the pair must be same height and 9" apart minimum.
License plate must be illuminated.
I like the Harley stick-ons on the front forks. I used the newer fork reflector mount for the Denali fog lights. I do have round ones and metal bands to attach to forks (used that before getting the stick ons). Rear I left as is. Tail I removed the bracket and mounted to the rear fender below the license plate. Reflective license plate bolts I think are OK for the rear.
Turn signals: You have shorties on the front. I have one set of shorties for the rear if one other person doesn't want them. You can put your red tail lens on the LED board.
Keep up the good work. Looking sweet!
I have these. Kijona might want the bottom pair that matches your fronts (I do have plenty of good orange lenses because I replaced all mine with smoke lenses). If he doesn't decide soon, then they're available. Others 2 pair are available. Postage and a couple dollars for a beer.

Is that the same in FL?
I dont think i've ever seen a single bike around here thats legal than, lmfao.
I got a line on a stock 2007 r6r can for FREE that I'm thinking about throwing on and trying.
Those are DOT requirements. Probably not enforced much unless your state required periodic inspection or inspection when getting a new title. Cops might bust you if you ride like a squid. Maybe get cited if they ticket you for something else. Usually they say they have more important things to do than stop a bike for missing a reflector (sometimes a cop speaks at local club meetings).
I'm a firm believer in doing whatever possible to be more visible. I haven;t reached the geezer age of wearing the orange reflective vest. Still a few years to go before I do that unless adidas makes one.
Reflective tape on wheels is a plus for being seen at night. Nothing worse than being surprised at night my one of those matt black bikes with minimal lights and no reflectors - stealth bikes - death machines at night.
I've seen some bikes with dual filament turn signals. Dim filament for a running light. Bright one for the turn signal. There must be a way I can do that with our existing turn signals and add a 4-way flasher capability.
I have noticed 2007+ seems to have an electronic flasher module rather than the old mechanical one. I'll play with it this weekend! (After picking up Phenix's new tires from my dealer: he's getting the gun metal gray rims.)
I cannot for the life of me find NYS laws about reflectors, I'm pretty sure PO took them all off *I'll have to go check*
I'm not saying this is the end all be all but I cannot find anything saying they're required. I would like to add some though, especially reflective tape on wheels.
Anyone from NY and have inspection info?
Thanks,
Ian
Edit: Looks like I have to have a red reflector

NY is easy, used to live there and studied CJ there...
If it comes on the vehicle stock as a piece of safety equipment or if its emissions related, its required.

Damn, alright. Looks like I'm in for some reflectors then.
Not in NY but the bike shops around here sell adhesive backed reflectors that satisfy MD inspection requirements if the OEM are missing.

(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/sorrytext.gif) Sorry - I seemed to have hijacked your thread.....
adidasguy to the rescue: Try this:
http://troopers.ny.gov/publications/traffic_safety/Required_Motorcycle_Equipment.cfm
Seems only a rear reflector is required in NY. Seems to deviate from DOT requirements for new motorcycles sold in the USA. So if you buy a new one, they will have reflectors but you can remove them.
Reflector**
One red reflector must be displayed to the rear of the vehicle (may be a part of the tail lamp).
License Plate Lamp**
The plate must be lit with a white light bright enough to make the plate visible from 50 feet.
Here's another resource, though reflectors not mentioned:
http://www.msf-usa.org/downloads/Equipment_Chart_2010.pdf
DOT publication
http://www.dot.nd.gov/divisions/mv/docs/MVD18.pdf
And yet I find another one:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/maninfo/mcpkg002.pdf
Eventually I found this - but haven't read it yet
http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/571-108-lamps-reflective-associated-19948537
maybe reflectors are more of a Washington state requirement?
Hope this helps everyone!
These links belong in the WIKI.
And way down I found this table: I left just motorcycle requirements. I knew I read it somewhere! Sorry it is not formatted very well. It is in the http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/571-108-lamps-reflective-associated-19948537
Table III?Required Motor Vehicle Lighting Equipment[All Passenger Cars and Motorcycles, and Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Buses and Trailers of Less Than 80 (2032) Inches (mm) Overall Width]
Item Passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses Trailers Motorcycles Applicable SAE standard or recommended practice (See S5 for subreferenced SAE materials)
Reflex reflectors 2 amber 3 red;
Table IV?Location of Required Equipment[All Passenger Cars and Motorcycles
Reflex reflectors On the rear?1 red on each side of the vertical centerline, at the same height, and as far apart as practicable On the rear?1 red on the vertical centerline except that, if two are used on the rear, they shall be symmetrically disposed about the vertical centerline Not less than 15 inches, nor more than 60 inches.
On each side?1 red as far to the rear as practicable, and 1 amber as far to the front as practicable On each side?1 red as far to the rear as practicable, and 1 amber as far to the front as practicable
No one knows the origin of this Washington law - talk about goofy!
RCW 46.37.5185
Street rod and custom vehicles — Blue dot taillights.
A street rod or custom vehicle may use blue dot taillights for stop lamps, rear turning indicator lamps, rear hazard lamps, and rear reflectors. For the purposes of this section, "blue dot taillight" means a red lamp installed in the rear of a motor vehicle containing a blue or purple insert that is not more than one inch in diameter.
Hijack away!
