Here's a few pics of my bike. Nothing special:
It's a 2005 GSXR 750, 6 speed that I have fitted with
Traxxion Dynamics front fork upgrade (axxion valving)
Penske rear Shock
Marchesini Wheels
Scott's steering Damper
Akrapovic slip on
PCIII usb
BMC filter
Quickshifter
Goodridge -2 braided lines
Wave rotors
Sportech V2 windscreen
6000K HID's
Acumen digital gear indicator
And I have powdercoated a few pieces as well.
I bought the bike in March of 05' I had an 04 yellow and black and remember saying "if they ever have a black/blue, I will own it" Well the 04 750 didn't work out as I crashed it :headshake so I seized the moment and bought the 05 It currently has 23K miles on it and as you can tell, I am not religious about cleaning it. I enjoy it. I think the first season I had it I pretty much left it stock and rode it. I started with a yosh TRC slip on and eventually went with an Akra slip on. I like it umuch better. Then I got a Scott's damper, took the bike to Traxxion dynamics for some upgrades and it went downhill from there :lol: By far the best thing I have ever done to it though is put the Marchesini wheels on it. they are a huge difference. I replaced the clutch at 18K miles and the mechanic said it looked very good. Done a few trackdays on it so far, still no track plastics, just tape up the lights and go! There's still more that needs to be done, but I will get to it when I can, as I am in no rush. Mainly because I will enjoy the bike everyday that I have it, it could sit there and do nothing and I would still enjoy it. Enought with the rambling onto the pics!
One of my favorites (don't laugh at my brake fluid cover :lol:)

They are becoming hard to get recently. They are made by a company named Motrax and they are the titaniums. It's a plastic puck covered in titanium. They last a good while too. About $70 a set but they spark good :D The only place I have seen them in a while is overseas, in the UK. I'd be down for a group buy if we could get like 5 sets ordered. I don't think it would be worth paying shipping from UK on one set lol

Good looking bike man. When I saw the action pix I wondered if that was the pegs scraping but read on. Looks cool tho.:thumbup:
