Finally I've bought the bike I was searching to start my fighter. A GSXR K3 1000 to release my cannibalism

I have a lot of ideas, thanks to you guys and some of my own. The bike was stolen from the previous owner, but he was so lucky that after 1 month he finds it and took it back.

The damages was:
Chopped harness here and there
All the fairings was missing (less work to do:LolLolLolLol
Damaged central lock and top yoke
Some light damage to the tank
And a missing ecu.

I already ordered a top yoke with risers from topyoke.com and bought an used ECU. The ECU plugged to the harness and the engine is working very good. The most weird for a K3 is that it have only 26000klm!
Anyway I'm in a research for a headlight. When I have the desired headlight to my hands I will start to seek a matching tail maybe make my own from scratch. Will see.

So this is the bike

looks like a nice place to start.

Nice! When you're done you can ride down to the local cafe for a coffee and a slice of baklava

Nice start !

 

[Leroy]

Thank you guys. I can't wait to start working on her. This weekend is gone. I'm helping my cusin to move at his new house, but I will try to do some work from tomorrow. Will see.

Nice one. Good luck with the project and I'll be keen to see what you come up with.

I have a K4 that is my current project

At last after almost three weeks that I own this bike, I've made it to do some job on her. It's raining all the time and when it doesn't rain I don't have free time due my day job :doh:

Anyway the bike is sitting like that at the moment.

And here is all the parts that came of the bike

I have alredy ordered the seat/tail (I want to have a passenger seat so I'll play it safe with that popular Monster seat)


And here is a teaser photo from the subfraim that I will go

 

[cridge]

I look forward to seeing that subframe in the metal! Sub'd!

I look forward to seeing that subframe in the metal! Sub'd!

+1 on the subframe! :thumbsup:

 

[Leroy]

Thanks for waching guys.

 

[FIGHTERMC]

looking forward to this too mate.
that seat is the bomb.

 

[Leroy]

Yea, I'm sure that there are much more aggressive tails to go with, but I've seen it at Piester's bike and some other guys in here and I think that is best combination of a conveniently and good looking seat.

 

[Leroy]

Ok I took apart the bike

Cleaned the air box and some other bits.

And the surprise was that it have a KN filter inside. Cleaned the too and close the box to be ready for the bike

 

[Leroy]

Painted radiators and brackets and let it dry the paint

Also my seat came but it looks a little wider than I thought. Is from a Monster 696. It measures 30x70

Is there any other monster that have a thinner seat?

 

[F'dup]

I just did some quick measuring on my first gen monster seat years 93"?"-07.
I got 11-7/8" at it's widest... Which should be 30 cm it seems...

 

[Leroy]

Thanks for your fast reply, sorry for the delay. I often go out and leave my pc open.
At the photos the seat looks thinner than real life. Anyway I think compared with the tank gas it will look ok.


So this afternoon clened, scrabed the engine and painted. I hope that I did the cleaning job well. I hate the idea that I might have to pull the engine off, just to pain it again.

 

[Leroy]

For some reason the paint job looks crapy, but it is better than this...

 

[piester]

pictures never do paint justice.
