I had a chance to ride COTA Nov 25-26th but decided against due to my healing injury.I'm going to throw updates on my bike here.
A little background, I bought an L1 GSXr750 with a little over 2000 miles earlier this year and lowsided at the track. It was an easy lowside (at 65mph) and after a fairly simple rebuild to replace some plastics and maybe a lever, I decided I wanted to do a complete makeover, so I crashed at the track REALLY good. Managed to rash or crack EVERY last bit of plastic, bend a brake rotor, snap off a clip on, bent rearsets but the main part of the bike (fork, triples, frame, wheels, etc) survived amazingly well.
It's a work in progress and if anyone has any questions on what has gone before, I'm happy to share. Some of the highlights were an DIY FTECU flash, installation of their quickshifter, M4 Brembo brake installation with Braking's SK2 rotors. Stainless steel brake lines, Traxxion dynamics revalved and resprung forks, shimmed OEM shock and fork extenders up front, GSXR600 headers with a stainless steel stub welded to fit a DIY pie cut midpipe eliminating the cat. This ends in the stock location so I can use any of the slip on mufflers out there. Currently I replaced the rashed stock muffler with a Leo Vince slip on.
So, at the moment, I'm waiting on a superbike plastics kit from Armour Bodies. Seems they have very good reviews on their body kits. I ordered a superbike kit (one with the stock seat replaced with a one piece tail unit and a foam pad). Unfortunately, I was told it will be December before I MIGHT get it. Apparently they stock the supersport kit that utilizes the stock seat. Whatever, I'm healing from my clavicle fracture and I'm not riding seriously anyway.
I'm planning how to make the bike "street legal" while utilizing the race plastics. I was thinking a mini projector lights and a custom mount. I fabbed up a bracket to mount a tail/brake light sandwiched between the fender eliminator and the undersurface of the frame. I've been fortunate enough to have learned how to tig weld and brackets like this are an easy thing.
Pics to follow.
My bike had a superbike tail on it when I got it and I really like it. It is so much easier to go side to side then with a stock saddle. Obviously, there is minimal padding so you do "feel" the bike, but it works well. I'm sure there is a lot of personal preference involved here also.So, at the moment, I'm waiting on a superbike plastics kit from Armour Bodies. Seems they have very good reviews on their body kits.

If you're interested in splitting the parts up I'd be interested in the superbike tail. I have the Armour Bodies supersport bodywork and like it a lot but would like to go to superbike tail.I got a set of Hotbodies with the superbike tail on a two for one deal that I'll be putting on soon.
No I'm keeping the superbike tail!If you're interested in splitting the parts up I'd be interested in the superbike tail. I have the Armour Bodies supersport bodywork and like it a lot but would like to go to superbike tail.
Yes you can. I think the Armour Bodies one is about 200 bucks. They're supposed to be coming out with a superbike seat pan you can just add to the supersport tail but not developed for the 2011-up 600/750 yet. I've also considered buying the Hotbodies seat pan; would think it should work with the AB tail.No I'm keeping the superbike tail!
Can't you just order the tail section separately? I see other manufacturers offering separate pieces.
Yea, it's a fuel mixture issue at that rpm I'm sure.Noticed this rhythmic surging at idle when I removed the OEM muffler and put on the straight through Leo vince slip on.
This seems to be not an uncommon thing but I have not yet figured/read a solution.
It happens after the engine warms up and is at/near normal operating temps. Revs climb a couple hundred rpms and hunts between 1700-1200. The revs cycle about once per 1-1.5sec.
I think it has to do with the loss of backpressure (whatever that means). I can make it stop if I put my hand over the tailpipe. As soon as I remove my hand, it starts to hunt again.
I'm thinking I might try disabling the O2 sensor (through FTECU flash) to see if helps.
Is that triple available for the 600/750? I'm only seeing it for the 1000. The only alternative triples I've seen are the Attack?Thinking about some adjustable triples. I figure maybe I can drop the front end back to stock if I can reduce my offset to regain trail from raising the rear. (if I have to explain, nevermind) Not for everyone, but I think the IMA set looks cool.
