Initial construction

First you get one 2003 GSXR 1000 and remove it's skin.

Then you remove most of it's hindquarters.

Mock-ups and test parts start to give it some shape.

Lowering both ends and making the rear rigid.

Extensions with reinforcement for the wheelie bar mounts.

First build up

Slider clutch install

Early outing to the track

On a personal note. For everyone who wondered where I was the entire
week of Thanksgiving 2009. That was the first full build up. It
cranked for the first time on the one year anniversary of the theft of
my 600, which kicked off this whole project.

There are 100's more pics and a bunch of trick parts no-one knows
about. If you are in the southern Louisiana area, I can apply those
touches to your bike too.
