Steezin all your camera shots look like art to me.

I was going to say that too. You a photographer for a day job?

Hahah nah, I'm an architectural technician, or a draftsman if you want to be a d!ck about it haha

i told myself i wouldn't become the hipster kid with his dslr taking photos of anything and everything.. but

i bought the Canon T2i to use for filming, but have been loving taking some really crisp shots. still need to get a photo program so i can start shooting raw images. that's where the quality and crispness really starts to show.

I'm actually working on filming my first little video edit of the season!

Warning long post!

Riding season's here, and I'm Sick and Tired of waiting for the USPS and DMV to cooperate and give me the title on Gabby(this 06 parts bike).  So I decided to buy more GS parts bikes!!

This was the dirtiest pick i've gone for. Mainly driven by the 89 clip ons, a titled frame, And running engine. That way I had options on whether parting out and doing a ground up build.

After weighing my options I drove ~5 hours east to pick up a 96 and 89 both stripped to frame. The 96 has a titled frame and running engine. The frame was primed and then interest was lost. The PO had another 2006 gsF painted camaro green(no bad looking at all) and said work/kids took over the project time. The 89 has a bad engine(top end 1/2 removed) and a none titled frame(painted with dark glitery purple it looked like ), but has great set of triples and clips! bars are a bit bent so they will be replaced.

Camera photos:

Weather was nasty so i decided to see how much the Durango could fit inside..

Turns out, 2 nearly complete bikes in basket case form(stripped.. not swapped..)






I'm going to take a bit of inventory tomorrow(weather permitting) depending on what i have and what i need. I will be building 1 complete bike from these parts while i battle the dmv/usps to get the 2006's(Gabby) titled.

Last night I started to regain control of my shop after a long winter at the slopes. With these new parts bikes and all my current parts my shop is going to be a suzukilanche hahah. I need a bike cave pronto! I got everything that was across the floor sorted and boxed. I'll be stashing some of the parts in the parts bin(shed)





and a bit of a teaser for me and y'all. I hung the ebc rotor on my white front just to see how it looks. i'm liking it even more than i thought i would!

Nice!!!!!
Another lucky hunter!

I was thinking abot getting one of those (EBC rotor) how much are they and do they make a big difference?

'Preciate it Tomb! glad to hear yer pickin' went well too!

@ Knowles - i can't comment on the EBC rotor. i got it in a parts pick and haven't installed or used it yet. I would it won't be any noticeable difference, more of as ascetics mod. Check back after i get one of these parts bikes together and will be sure to give updates on all my mods

Finally! USPS updated my tracking info. my 15 day waiting period on the certified letter turned into a 1 month and 1 week wait for ANY updates. NOW! More waiting... Gotta wait for letter to get back here, then a 20 dayer for next step in DMV process. Then maybe sometime before I pass on to meet my maker I'll get her titled haha

Certified letter finally made it home

After 4/18(my next waiting period) I'll be dragging all my paper work into the DMV and if all goes well, walking out with my title!!

hell yeah!!! 

Updates?

NEED MOAR PICS!

No major updates or photos really.. I did drop my white wheels and bridgesotne bt003's off to get the tar swapped!

V This V  is just some more dmv/usps ramblings;

I had a epiphany in the shower yesterday morning. I think the paper work I have to get the title is incorrect

I was mulling it over and realized a big uh-oh i should have picked up on a looong time ago. The VA dmv pointed me to CA for the last registered owner. From CA's vehicle history report, it showed someone in WV tried to register it in their name, but there was no "Owner Issue" date. The last owner issue date was for the lady in CA.  I think i should i have sent the certified letter to the CA registered owner, because if the last registered owner was in WV the VA dmv would have told me to search there. This stuff makes my head spin, but i think I've figured out what NOT to do now haha

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WAITING THOUGH!! I have a title in my name for the 96 gsE frame I'm selling. Going to get tags for it and slap them on the 2006. By the time the 96's frame gets sold I should be closer, if not already have, the actual title for the 2006 gsF.  In the meantime I'm going to walk into the dmv after my next waiting period(4/18), play dumb, and hope they give me the title anyway hahah.

So most all of my spare time will be going to into getting Gabby road ready. I'm thinking about taking friday off for a solid 3 day weekend to work on her!

Not much progress.. I loosened up the rear suspension in prep for the r6 shock. Started to remove the PAR system. Found some more rust that will be cleaned, and resprayed before rebuilding. Looked over the gauges for second and realized i'm missing some bits and pieces. Started a list of parts to buy from Adidasguy, and a list of new parts I need. Put a rear wheel on her, covered the carbs, snapped a photo, and covered her for a while.



The Drz project is picking up, not putting the GS on the back burner, more like temporarily on the side burner..

STOKED!

Just got back from the DMV with a freshly printed clean/clear title for little ol' Gabby! Will get her insured and plated once I get close to the final package.

Let the wrenching begin!

Was too stoked to wrench.. I ordered my r6 sleeve/bolt to finish that installation, and snatched a set of new dampers for the gauges

Also got my white wheels with bt003's on them. Unfortunately the rotor bolts I stole from my 06 parts bike's front wheel have a longer shoulder than the older bolts. Just need to source the older/shorter style, apply blue loctite, and torque. Then I'll be able to stand back and smile! As it will be the first time I've see my white wheels on the gsF frame.

Going to start working on getting the rust cleaned up and resprayed once the rain stops

I have a lot of stock forks if you need some.

Had a spare second while pulling some parts from the bin. Double checked the rotor bolts and all went in with ease! I think my friend was just being over cautious and didn't want to damage anything. Probably didn't have the rotor lined up exactly.. So i'll be getting the bearings replaced in both wheels, cleaning, threadlock and torque ebc rotor on front/new oem rotor on rear, and a brand new sprocket on rear as well!

another taste with the new tar:

Loving this whole thread! Keep up the good work Steezin! 

Got a bit of time after checking my friends valves to work on the project. Not a big update though, but its long winded haha i guess i'm in the mood to type

Started removing the PAIR components while finishing up my friends. It makes it much easier to figure out what's what when you have another to reference. My PAIR block off plates should be in this week.

Took a lazy attempt at wire brushing/sanding the rust off the sub frame bar below the battery box. Got some anti rust semi-flat black paint and gave it a couple coats. I'm terrible at painting, even coats, waiting X amount of time between, etc.etc. Turned out fine for me! Also got my r6 sleeve and bolt sized up and the r6 shock installed. Right now most parts I put on are just snug tight. I'll go back over the whole bike and torque it all to spec



Hung the nissin caliper w/ sv adapter plate, and black hel SS brake line test fitted on front. I did a quick size up on the rear and even though its a short line i think i'll be able to make it work.



Went to install my new coils and realized i lost some the screws and spacers for one side. Added more parts to my parts list. Then gave the white wheels my first round of soap and water. Next round i'll use some rims cleaner

Another Saturday of wrenching 

With some good photos from Adidas I got my Gimbel rearsets installed! I'm pumped on the final product!! Finished up and had enough time to go cast a few lines

Started to test fit everything to realize that when she was blown off her center stand it bent the peg mount slightly. Not noticeable with stock rear set, but heavily exaggerated by the gimbel's. So much that there was clearance issues between the peg bolt and swing arm. Again with some help from Adidas(I'm sure I owe him some stout brews and more karma corn!) I put a spare rear set on and pursuaded it to return to its rightful place.

i like the rear sets but can't pay the $$$ for them right now, good project.
