Picket it up on my Bday (Dec 18th)
Image


Rims came in
Image

Image


Test fit rims before teardown
Image


Brembo f/r calipers are here
Image

Image


Braking SK rotors are in
Image


Brembo BILLET 19x20 is in, and thats it for wheels/brakes besides lines which I cant measure till I get the rollling chassis back together
Image


Started to tear down for powder coat
Image


Stripped and prepped for powder
Image


Next time I post, I should have everything back from coating and a rolling chassis again...

Big plans for this bike as you can see alreay, Full EVO Akro is on the way, Bazzaz FI unit with auto tune...Real Ohlins dampner! And much more....

If youve ever seen the Arai Nakano GP replica helmet in GREEN, I matched the bright green color with flakes in the clear almost exactly...Basically almost the same color as the seat, but with sparkles in the clear....

I know its going to be a bit too much for most people, but I like being different...And I got bored of powdercoating everything simple colors like white and black....

WOW, getting right to business on a brand new bike.

I get really happy in bad places when I see massive amounts of goodies like this... I get excited about new tires when I get them, that's nothing compared to this kind of fun!

What are you doing with the old wheels or brakes? :D

JohnnyP: What are your impressions of the Carrozzeria wheels? How are they for fit and finish? Do they feel lighter than stock? I have a set and i love them. Just curious as to other people's opinion.

Does the Monster Energy edition come with the Green Chain or did you order that after market? if so, where did you get it? I have the 09 in all black and im going to spice it up with a bit of green. Green chain, sprocket, break and clutch levers, foot pegs, shifter rod, heel guards, and im going to paint all the bolts/screws green... Im having trouble finding the green chain..

That chain is aftermarket, its an EK MVXZ and its pretty cheap. I just saw in a magazine the other day that RK also makes a green chain, but its a better green and only sold through Kawi dealers...So I am going to try and find the part # for that...

I was going to try and trade someone for 05-09 wheels + a little cash locally. The rim stripes on the M ed are cleared over, so I thought someone might want them, and Im going to strip and powder coat them for my other bike anyways...Dont think it would be worth it for you, if I have to ship them though....

Very nice indeed, no fucking around with this one that is for sure..

what are your plans for the bike?
Please tell me you are going to at least get it on the track and use it as intended...at least part time anyways?

feel like i am watching myself when i did my 636....nice to see others feel the same about the 600/636.

One is a stunt bike, so you probably dont want to see that one...I'll try to find a pic of my street bike thou....Its changing thou, used to be silver but I crashed it, so Ive got a full set of red fairings going on soon with some powdercoat...

The can and some of the piping that makes the mid pipe, was originally a slipon for a 06/07 GSXR600/750...

First of all you need to do the 05 swing arm swap, then I made that custom midpipe you see....

From the amount of money going down range I'm gonna guess you don't have any kids, or a wife or even an ex wife lol. If I was to guess what you do for a living I'm tempted to say free lance unregulated pharmacuetical sales rep or maybe something worse like a lawyer but I'm guessing you prob wouldn't be able to pass the LSAT, well maybe you would who knows. I know I'm getting laid on a regular basis and it's costing me more than it should lol. Maybe you're not getting as much as I am so you have to turn your attention to your bike instead lol.

Can you tell I'm green with envy? I wish I had that kinda money to throw at my bike. The bike gets what's left over after the kids and the ex take their strips off my ass lol. I need a better job. This sucks lol.

Yeah no wife, no kids, no nothing really....Besides my bikes...Thats all I really spend money on....I dont drink or party too much, went on my 1st vacation in 10 years on new years...So yeah I just have a couple nice bikes...

And I operate a family owned manufacturing business with my dad and my sister, Im 27 and have been working full time since I dropped out of high school at 17.... So trust me I work for what I have, nothing is given to me besides oportunity....

And to be honest %75 of the cash for this new bike came from extra money I get from building bikes for people and also selling stunt stays that I make and sell on the internet, for 03/04 and 05/06 636's...

For a high school drop out, I'm impressed with your grammar! Not many people I've met who are high school drop outs use proper english. Well done!
