K5 600 (Baby Blue) Resurection

Well Here is my baby. Baby Blue to be exact. Hoping to get February as it is my birthday. Year: 2005 Model: GSXR Eng size: 600 Pipes: Hotbodies undertail Exhaust Seat: Suzuki Gel Wheels: Black Stock rims wrapped in Michelin 2CT tires Accessories: Lets start with the paint. Baby blue with white pearl and over that is purple pearl, now in between those layers are ghosted in logo's that I designed. I custom made the front and rear fender. Hotbodies undertail for the exhaust with led lights. lowered about 1inch front and rear. Wave rotors up front. 2007 GSXR mirrors with turnsignals, In the stock turnsignal location I made recesses for custom foglights (I live in the boonies). Fully wrapped pipe and muffler to reduce heat. Paint matched air ducts, brake rotors and gauge cluster. All fairings are bolted to bike with spikes to help complete the sharp look I was going for. Integrated rear brake light with a custom molded in camera going to a monitor above the gauges. Custom cut side license plate bracket. GPR steering stabilizer. Alarm system with 2way remote pager and custom trip switches that set alarm off if key is turned on, either seat is taken off or bike is tilted upright. Million color led light system with 6 light bars each bar has 20 lights. thats 120 led lights of color with over 20 different fades and patterns. Chrome levers, and gel grips. K&N air filter. Multicolor reflective windscreen. Chrome engraved top tripple tree and polished lower tree. And the story: Well this all came about due to my being a little too wild. The bike got wrecked due to a high speed slide. I spent about 150 hours doing 100% of this work myself including paint. I chose the color to have something that well would stick out and be noticed. Still ongoing and have to many ideas to list. Most recently while again playing around I found myself ass up on the pavement with a broken hip and broken thumb, both requiring surgery. See pictures below. I actually think its cool. None the less the bike somehow is almost undamaged and well I am not so, 3 months out of work and in PT. But looking forward to fixing the few scratches and being back on the road for spring. Bikes are a passion and a little titanium rod in my leg will never be able to slow me down.

I would have to say great job on the bike. Im sure you will turn some heads when it gets warmer out to ride. How is the injury healing up? Goodluck.:thumbup:

I'm jealous, looks real nice

I would have to say great job on the bike. Im sure you will turn some heads when it gets warmer out to ride. How is the injury healing up? Goodluck.:thumbup: Well just got back to work, still some limping and pain, but hope to be 100% by summertime. I'll be damned if I am not ready to ride when the weather is warmer. But hey its a great conversation piece.

I think I am going to paint it again though. I keep coming up with different color ideas and schemes. Thinking about doing a marble paint job this time. And painting the windscreen to match, I never use it anyway. Maybe also black out all the aluminum parts. Lower half at angle all blacked out with upper corner marble painted?

maybe consider changing your riding style. 3 months out of work? Did you loose your job cause of that

nice pix. esp. the xrays :P

looks sweet, but for some reason it looks white to me...dang maybe im color blind haha...

maybe consider changing your riding style. 3 months out of work? Did you loose your job cause of that I ride real aggresive, I do know this. I am an addreniline junkie and well sooner or later you have to pay for that. But it will never stop me from doing what I love. I did not loose my job as most jobs could not fire you for an accident that happened, plus it would be very bad PR. Back to work now and missing the time I had off.

looks sweet, but for some reason it looks white to me...dang maybe im color blind haha... Actually you see just fine. It is Baby blue with white pearl mixed in, layed on top of that is purple pearl in clear. So mostly at night it looks white or in extreme sun in appears a real light blue. Shady more baby blue and then shimmers of the purple when the light hits it different. I used to much white pearl then I intended too thus the lighter color then what I was going for.

nice pix. esp. the xrays :P Yeah those are my favorite as well. Its like a trophy to us hardcore people. Although I would still trade it all back to not loose that 3 months of my life. Hoping to get Feb, ride of the month as its my birthday and it would be a great new start to riding again and well just actually being able to ride again. Life is for living not for watching.

wow great job restoring it! looks awesome

Anybody know when voting begins for Feb???

8 days till end of the month??? We still doing bike of the month?? PS who in the NH MA region for some spring rides when the snow goes away?

So much for Bike of the Month. It was nice while it lasted for the whole month anyway.

yeah i know what u mean...im going to post mine anyway just to see what happens and then i guess i will just keep posting it tell they do it again! or tell they say that there is no more bike of the month!!!

Yeah, this sucks.. Exellent idea, but Admins not deticated enough!! :headshake I´ve been looking over the "syster"websides, R1forum, ZXforum 1000RR forum etc.. all with the same problem EXCEPT this one (http://www.1000rr.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=49)

ugh i love ur exauhst! u got my vote!

Ok I have most all my parts in now for the 2nd rebuild. Crash cage on the way this time. I will put pictures up once done. Laying some new paint a new way. Most likely not finished till May. I need it to warm up a little to lay the paint down. Not a full time heated garage, just when I am out there.

can someone tell me where the pics are? I can't seem to find them!:hmmm:

Nice bike. And that looks painful as hell

Yes def painful, I think most painful thing I have done yet. Don't ever feel like that again, its that nice pain where everytime you move you die once again. xray room was lots of fun,

very nice!
