Hello,

While I am still in the process of getting my lazy ass off my bike and behind a camera to take some better pictures I figure I would post a couple quick pics of the before and after shots of my bike.

Before (Purple) - When I first got the bike May 95.
After (Black) - What I am riding today.

The Bike was involved in a slow speed head on collision.  Had to pretty much replace the whole front end.  Several people from here helped with parts so thank you!

AFTER:



NOTE: The side panel is back on now...I had replaced my turn signal indicator and had not put it back on when my friend took this picture.

Good deal What headlight did you go with and could you post a pic please.

They are a set of dual headlights.  I got them from a Web Site called FlynCycle (http://www.flyncycle.com/acatalog/Dominator_Twin_Headlights.html)


As for the brackets I used to mount them...
I am using 1/2 of the stock setup...the portion that goes around the fork.  You can see my turn signals mounted to them.  Then I had a friend of mine fabricate me a set of mounts that will attach to the bracket and the headlight.  He used the stock mounts as a guide and then we just increased the length so that we didn't squish the wires behind the headlight.

I will try not to be such a lazy ass this weekend and take some close up shots.

Thanks man I would apreciate it. I would like to see them on the bike, you never know for sure till you see the finished product. 

What was the first head light and faring?That was cool also.

The first dual headlight and fairing setup I "believe" are from a older GSXR.  I have no clue what year though.
Interestingly enough I have that headlight (minus one bulb) and if anyone is interested...it is for sale.

what did you do with all the wiring from the light?  i had those same headlights and gave up on putting them on when i saw how many wires were in the old light.  i sent them back and got a refund.  glad i did since i took the 89 apart

What front guard is on it.

looks like a Katana guard  to me Bubba

Edit , Yep It is ,



My pic , follows the same lines

Ta Jay, I like the look of them and wouldn't mind putting one on mine.

Well , im sure i read somewhere from Dgyver , yea it was  that you can use the gs fender on the kat forks , so i would Imagine its vice versa  , yea i think his bike looks awesome 

Edit again , where do u get seats like that , i think that would be the icing on the cake

So then you should be able to put a kat fender on a GS forks ?

Im Certain , it shares the same Wheel in every aspect , so clearance wouldnt be a problem and it would be a direct swop mod , it really makes the front look beefer and more aggressive me likey 

Of course it'll fit  , They're standard forks on that bike.

I'll have to keep an eye out for one.

Whats the actual model of the Katana, cause we may have gotten those bikes out here.

My one was from a 1990 Gsx 600f , is what Its called here , i searched katana , and i didnt get the older models for some reason

Thanks, I'm pretty sure we got those here, but they weren't called katanas. I'll have a look at a few wreckers & on flea bay. 

i have not read all the replies here maybe some1 tell this first..

please no offense to your bike or you !! but do a favor to the bike and take out that grill on the back !!

1985-86  GSXR-750

At the moment all the wires that were on the bike when I got it are just tucked up behind the current headlight.  This winter I plan to take the headlight off and try cleaning up the wires a bit (it looks kinda messy).  After not riding all last season I was anxious so I just got it going so I could ride.

As for the fender (I assume that is what you meant by front guard) I honestly don't know what it is.  I was looking for a new one and someone on here said they had one that was not a stock GS fender but would fit.  I actually glad I picked it up cause I think it looks good.


The bike seat came with the bike when I bought it but the previous owner (a buddy of mine) said he got it off eBay.  Its a Suzuki gel seat.

And DaxFX...sorry dude...that rack on the back (I assume that is what you mean by grill) at the moment proves to be useful so until I have no need for it...it stays.  Your not the first person so say they think I should take it off BTW so no offense taken.


Thanks everyone for your comments.  I am hoping to snap some more pictures of the bike this weekend so hopefully I will be able to post them early next week.  That way you can get some difference angles on the bike.

The way it looks, with the turn signals moved back there on that luggage rack, you shouldn't have any problems fitting a pair of saddlebags at all. Of course you could mount a action packer box or a tail bag on that rack too for additional storage.
