MVRK10256's "Friends in Low Places" - 2005 GSXR 600 Streetfighter Build Thread - DONE
Picked up a '05 GSXR for $700. Owe a friend some favors so I decided to build him a bike for cost.
Discussion goes here
Deets on the bike:
2005 GSXR 600
40k miles
Pulls hard
was highsided.
major oil leak due to crushed starter cover
Plans for the bike:
-Fix shit
-Get plated/tagged
-Blue w/ white stripe paint scheme
-clean streetfighter look with clip ons
Stuff done today:
-STVA fix - no more FI light
-Replaced ignition relay - starts without a screwdriver now
-Build paint booth in apartment
-strip down tank for bondo and paint
-gave my buddy title/F130U for him to handle that side
stuff ordered:
-Extra key
-new footpegs
-engine cover
-stock tail
-water bottle for overflow
-headlight materials
The real challenge is I am going to try to get it done in about 2-3 weeks while I am still unemployed and get it under $1k.
Total cost list:
GSXR - $700
Stater Relay - $15.00
Pegs - $8.00
Mirrors - $12.00
Engine cover - $13.00
Tail - $35.00
Bottle - $7.00
Headlight - $85.00
Total = $875
Pictures!
Paint booth:
Taking stuff apart and paint stripping (I hate this shit.)
So many layers
Thats all for today.
