Pauls bikes
 

I see some bike threads on here so I figure I will start one.

07 gsxr 1000 that iam putting back to stock and selling it come spring.

03 busa that iam building into a drag bike. Plans for this season are swingarm 12 inch over, 2 inch flat oil pan, and side winder exhaust. I would also like to get the bike lower.

03 turbo busa. Bike has a stage 1 turbo kit boosting 5 pounds. Plans are to get the throttle body seals fixed and fix the oil return line. I might turn up the boost after I fix the 2 things. I should be able to go up to 8 pounds on pump gas. I plan on keeping it a pump gas bike.

02 honda cr 250 2 smoke. Plans for this beast are new tires and strip the bike down and fix anything it needs before I trail ride it this summer. Bike has been to hell and back. Never skipped a beat even after it hydro locked a couple years ago.

Sooo many bikes! It'd be hard to keep up moding all dem sum bitches.

Should be a good thread!

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Badass

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Here's a time slip from last at bir. My best time on the bike running mr12 race gas. This summer I hope to run 9.3x on pump gas with the bike longer and lower.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Which bike?

Re: Pauls bikes
 

That's one the white busa. I have not taken the turbo bike to the track yet. I might take the turbo bike to the track this spring and see if I can get a 9 out of it. It's stock wheel base, stock gearing, and stock ride height. It loves to wheelie 1st and 2nd gear.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

I didn't realize white folks actually rode Hyabusas :p

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Hahahaha priceless

Hopefully the gsxr will be sold by spring. Then I will just ride the turbo busa till it sells. Hopefully sell close to fall so I can pick up a cheap cruiser. Gf told me I should buy a cruiser. So that's the plan. Cruiser, drag bike, and some dirt bikes. I don't know if I will buy another street bike. I can always ride the drag on the street and push my lucky with the police.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

YESSS!! Come to the old side! Cruiser is my main mode of transportation in the summer now. Plus we can do couples thangs in the summer with brizzle and his wife as well. :drive1:

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Lol sounds like a plan.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

You guys should start a bike gang

Re: Pauls bikes
 

I thought 'style was a gang?

Re: Pauls bikes
 

ugh, i never make the cut. :cry:

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Worked in the garage today and finish exhaust swap on the gsxr. I have somebody that sounds interested in buy the gsxr soon. I worked on the busa a little today too. I bought a chrome moly swingarm that's 12 inches longer then stock. It should be a little lighter then the stock swingarm. Bike weighs 470 pounds right now. I hope after the swingarm and some other stuff I plan on doing I can get the bike down to 450 pounds. I also plan on painting the bike this winter. Iam thinking blue or red right now. Here's what the bike looks like now with stock swingarm with 6 inch extensions and it plastic dipped white.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Installed my new swingarm tonight. Pretty happy with how easy it was to install the new arm and how it looks installed. Now I need to figure how long of a chain I need and figure out how to use my rear brake or just ditch the rear brake. Getting close one part at a time.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Your 60-0 times would be a lot better with a rear brake. I say keep it especially if that thing is going that fast in the 1/4.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

That swingarm looks good on there for sure!

Fuck a back brake, I'd have my off if I didn't have to modify the bracket so I can use the speedo sensnsor

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Well I guess I will order a spacer so I can delete the rear brake.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

So I took all the plasti dip off the bike and started to prep it for paint. So far I have painted the tail section on the bike. Iam very happy on how good the tail section turned out for a rush job. I will take as many pics possible.

One picture is it all primed, 2nd picture is it painted, 3rd is it all wet sanded and buffed

Re: Pauls bikes
 

man that looks good!

Re: Pauls bikes
 

You painting in your garage or after hour special at work? Looks really good regardless.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Painting in the garage at home. Iam going to paint the tank and the front fairing hopefully this weekend. If they turn out better then the tail I will strip the tail down and redo it.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Looks pimp!

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Bought some new parts this week. Woot woot. Going to install them this weekend. I got the new sidewinder exhaust bolted up tonight and the radiator reinstalled. Just waiting for a oil pan gasket so I can install the new flat oil pan. I will post pics this weekend.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Well this weekend I finished painting the bike. It looks pretty good. I have a couple things left to do before it road ready. Hopefully it will be ready next weekend so I can take it out and work any bugs out.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Looks good! Paint the frame black next year?

Re: Pauls bikes
 

I won't paint it. I would get it powder coated

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Nice!!

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Looks slow..... :KANE:

Re: Pauls bikes
 

So messed around with the bike some more. I used some lowering links off a older gsxr and it lowered the bike a lot. Bike is almost done for now. Ordered a new front fender that sits lower so I can run a smaller front tire and lower the front another inch. Going to get my fork seals replaced and get them internally lowered soon.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

This weekend I took my forks off to have them internally lowered 2.5 inches. Waiting to get those back this week. I ordered a lowering front fender to go with my new low pro front tire. Couple more weeks and it ready for its first pass.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

You going the same day as bee rizzle?

Re: Pauls bikes
 

That's the plan Pat. Just need to button up a couple of things before then.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Got that floating bike mod! Paint looks really good.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Lol floating bike. Thanks the paint came out good for a Rattle can job. Can't wait to ride this beast since it's my only bike now.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Installed my forks and yea they are a little short. I don't have enough room for a fender to fit so iam not running a front fender. Hahaha. I rode the bike this weekend and it rides good but can't take any corners. The exhaust hits and the kick stand hits. So iam going to raise the rear up to give me more clearance. I also lightened up the front upper fairing stay. Try to cut as much weight as I can on the bike. I want to get it close to the liter bike weight.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Sold my k7 gsxr 1k and my turbo busa a couple weeks ago and picked up a new bike tonight. 2006 suzuki c90t. Great cruiser bike for sure. Does 85 mph with ease.

Re: Pauls bikes
 

w00t, we can be old men with Pat and go on cruises to enjoy the scenery while scrapping peg lol

Re: Pauls bikes
 

Made a trip out to rockfalls this morning. The conditions weren't the best and it was sport compact day. But over all I was pretty happy with how the bike did and my clutch hand. I was fighting traction a couple of times . I did beat my best pass so today. Trap speed was super low.
