Got these in today ... I think it's much better ... I'll give the red ones to a member that may need/want them ... pm me
hand grips should be in tmrw :0001136745-wait:

got same levers on mine.. does that make us "lever buddies"??!!? :Laughing::Laughing:

I did have better levers on the Monster though - pretty much same as those we seemingly both have BUT with the added bonuses that they would flip up (if you take a spill it won't snap) AND length of lever itself was adjustable "on the fly" so that could fir winter and summer riding (thicker vs thinner gloves).. might see of they make them for GSXR

VERY NICE PROJECT!!! very envious your engine looks sooo much cleaner than mine and loom all nice and tidy..

Well done man! looking forward to seeing pics of finished article!

My turbo kit is only costing me $2,500....... With a tune. But I'm going with a fully built motor, tranny, fuel system and ignition setup, so my build is roughly $8k.

Turbo kit includes, Garrett turbo, custom manifold, custom intake box with secondary injector holes, and all piping.

$5k...... sounds like a Velocity kit?

Are u getting it custom made or u ordering it piece by piece?

I haven't like dead set planned on one but found a whole kit on turbokits.com that comes with everything everything that I could bolt on myself in my garage and a pre tuned pc ... It comes with clutches too so that's the only thing I'd really need to have a shop do first

I thought about piecing it together but seemed like a pia and the wonder of if it's gonna fit right and hold up to as much kinda made me just want a kit that's set up for me already

I'm doing motor first too which is y I'm not really rushing to boost right now

What are u doing motor wise? I'm soooooo torn man cause i wanted to bore to 75 or 76 with a wiseco kit and port n polish my head with some good valves springs and retainers with the obvious cams and shafts buuuuut I also wanna be able to ride my bike on the street so idk lol
I just know im taking my time and taking no short cuts

I've always been told to pick one or the other. Big bore or turbo. Cylinder walls won't hold both. So I decided turbo.

Mine is all being hand built by Chris Cutsinger. He races a pro mod turbo bike. YouTube his name. Anyways, he is a little on the pricey side, but we've been friends forever, so I'm getting a deal. He only uses top grade stuff too.

I've heard different things about pre-ordered "KITS"....... Something always seems to be wrong. Either a cheap turbo, cheap clamps, wrong exhaust flange. ....... Always something. That's why I opted for a custom built one. I want it done right from the beginning.

I'm porting the head, and putting in valve springs, but that's it for now. The head and block are getting decked, diamond pistons, Corrilo rods, and ARP hardware. Probably going to get a billet basket case because I'm doing a "dyno day" tune with 400whp.

ya i hear ya and damn dude sounds like ur having a nice build going on too ... 74 or 75 bore should still be able to take some ok psi, unless its sleeved.
but ya thinking about it, ur def right ... bore idea gone, i wanna push out a whole lotta lbs cause i wanted the same build goal of 400 ... i honestly wasnt even looking into bore kits until i started trying to order a head gasket and i got side tracked :lol:
 
#28 ·
Big bore and nitrous can go together. ;)

I just want a reliable turbo bike. I know that sounds odd, but this guy has built a lot of bikes that have been pumping out 400whp for over 4 years, so I'm willing to pay for the long run.

Being side tracked has taught me a lot of shit. Every new idea makes me research about it. So even if I don't end up doing it, I at least learned something. I love getting side tracked. .....lol
 
#29 ·
ya i know right :lol: ive been weighing every option i have here ... i want the same thing as u, a reliable turbo bike for the street/strip
it can/will be done
