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.

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...

I'm not a stunter but I know a few so I have to ask wth that thing is and what is it for? Build quality looks top notch though man. Just help me understand lol. BTW I prob couldn't pass the LSAT either lol. Before I joined the Army I couldn't even spell Vehicle Technician and now I are one lol. I do get to work on some pretty cool shit though.

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!

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....

I've got an '07 swingarm that I'm going to use this spring, so that's no issue there. Do you have enough clearance so the tire doesn't rub on it, or did you have to move the passenger peg out at all?

Well basically for stunting or just crashing, every bike can use a stronger fairing stay. No bike needs it more then the 03+ Kawis, since they went to a plastic ram air which also supports the fairing stay. So that unit replaces the stock plastic ram air tube and cast aluminum fairing/guage stay.

A few other stunt parts companies make them aswell, but I was not impressed with their designs so I made my own. And when I posted pics people convinced me to start making and selling them...Mine was a little unique because I was the first person to make them out of aluminum instead of steel, and the first to use tubing and add a cross bar to protect from flipping or roll overs. And I also support the headlight in other places besides the stock mounts, which is the most important thing most of the others dont do IMO.

Heres an 03/04 mounted

And an 05/06

It will only slightly rub with a brand new tire, when I just stuff or land really hard on a stoppie. For regular riding I dont think it ever hits, and I did not move the passener peg out at all.
