About a month ago, I had the bright idea of completely revamping my completely stock 2007 GSXR600. I have a trackday at Fontana on March 28, so I figured it would be a good time to really test out all the mods. Well, all of the mods took A LOT longer to get together than I originally planned, and here I am 2 days away from the trackday and I just completed the bike. Did all the work myself.
+2/-1 Driven sprockets, 520 chain
Full Yosh R55 with stainless headers
PCIII and tune
BMC airfilter
R1 throttle mod
Speedohealer
Vortex rearsets
Woodcraft sliders
ASV C5 levers
Driven clip-ons and grips
Spiegler SS brake lines
Stompgrip
New meat, Michelin 2CTs
I think that's it. Anyway, rode the bike for about 5 minutes tonight. HOLY CRAP! To say night and day difference would be an understatement. This thing is a fire breathing maniac now. It feels like a completely different bike. Everything from the ergonomics, powerband, sound... I feel like I am re-learning how to ride, haha. I prob. shouldn't have done all the mods at once, but it was way easier to do it all at once from an installation standpoint.
I'm hoping I can get enough miles in tomorrow and Thursday to feel comfy on the bike again. I also wanna save the new tires as much as possible! Anyone else ever had to adapt to a 'new' bike so quickly?
Anyway, I'll post some pics later.
