my never ending project. 520 chain conversion +1 in the rear , viper race cans, K&N filter, raised subframe, custom fiberglass job on the rear, stealth flush mount blinkers mounted on the inside of the radiators.

I like the front lights. Can you show a side shot of the raised tail?

start of the new build
putting a 2007 GSXR 600 forks on. 
installed pod filters vs the air box the bike will run just fine when i get done jetting
removed the stock radiator overflow tank going to make a custom one and moved the coils from subframe and side of frame and installed them on top of each other underneath the carbs.moved the wiring harrness from under teh side of the frame to the inside the frame. so you cant see it.moved the oil cooler lower down so a single radiator can be mounted in its stock location.going to rebuild the subrame to make it sleeker looking.

i raised the tail to give it a more aggressive look on the last go around but found it was a bad idea if you have the old lady ride with you . so cut a new peice to be put in. hated looking at the old brace hang down so much so i ended up with this.

painted the frame flat black and the radiator gun metal. finally starting to come together i have a month and a half before a big motorcycle gathering "the oyster run" you might have heard of it depends on the area you live. i didnt paint the goose neck on the frame yet due to the steering damper mounts i need welded on but its only rattle canned anyways. bought a gsxr wheel off ebay slightly bent but will have it fixed cant afford a $250 straight wheel. it ended up being $40.48 after shipping cant really go wrong with that. brakes came a day ago

Great job,all looks good
.I like the black/silver color.I wonder how a rc51 radiator would fit up front
,its a little bit bigger but might help with cooling.Keep up the great work.What year zx6 oil cooler is that?
