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.

Is that a trailer auxillary light? Doesn't look like a headlight to me.

SmartDrug

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.

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.

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.
