Almost rideable again...
Still a work in progress. Waiting on the machine shop to call me when my caliper spacers are done so I can finish the brakes, and also for the Honda shop to let me know when my exhaust gaskets come in so I can reinstall the bafflectomized pipes (in their new flat-black paint scheme!).
More to follow (hopefully soon).

Spray on (read: rattle can) bedliner. I'll probably do that one evening this week while I'm waiting on the brake parts. Hopefully the parts will be done by thursday so I can ride her on Friday in the unit safety ride, but I may have to steal the wife's v-star again.

If a 04 GSXR front fender will work for you, you are welcome to any of the ones I have, I think I still have two complete ones in my garage. So if you end up back in Phx, and want it, let me know and it's yours.

I think that will work, but will have to check. I'm bidding on an '02 fender, but given what they're going for, my max bid will probably be surpassed sometime tomorrow.

I'll post more detailed pictures whenever blogger pulls its head out and starts uploading photos correctly again, but here's the essentials:
954 triples and brakes (complete)
'02 GSXR 750 forks
'01 TL-S front wheel, rotors, axle, and clipons.
The fairing is actually the stock fairing cut down. Since the right side was pretty smashed post-deer, I attached the front bit of it and figured out how much I could still use easily. I then cut the mirror stalks off the fairing stay along with the first 3 inches of the stay from the frame forward. I then fabbed up a bracket to attach the shortened stay to the triples via the 2 ignition switch bolts, and riveted the bits of the side fairing to the connector strap that runs from the top to the bottom of the center fairing (down the sides of the headlight). The stock headlight retains the fairing, and is also connected to the stay via screws in the 'locator cones' (trimmed to accept the screws) and via some brackets attached to the lower fairing stay screws on the bottom rear of the housing.
