Oh hey J, haha! Yes they are in fact SATO rearsets as you know already. This was part of my problem; every time I wanted to work on it or look at it, I had to drive to the next town over to my buddies shop where they are being stored. I am the type of person that I jump head first into any project I have as I want to get it done ASAP. Without having them at my own garage was getting to be frustrating. Anyways, we pretty much swapped everything for the OE stuff that you had with it, which helped out tremendously, thank you. I can't count how many times I've kicked myself in the ass for "I'll never need this again" only to find out I shouldn't have thrown it away...Originally Posted by Jayock
I went back in forth about keeping it/selling it probably a 1000x. I only listed it FS here and with friends/family as I wasn't going to bring any craigslist weirdo's to my buddies shop. Well just as I decided to keep it, my brother convinced me he needed it on Saturday so now it belongs to him lol. He hasn't had a bike in a long time and it will be nice to ride with him again. It will also be nice to be able to still work on it, just on his dime now. We got a cluster ordered for it this week and some other misc parts and will continue tinkering with it over the winter.
The GSXR is coming along great. We got that thing running the first week and let me tell you, those tanks were quite the project. Between the two, they stunk up the shop for a good day or so once we cleaned them out. This week, all the plastics are going on and I ordered an OE headlight off fleabay. The only thing it appears I am missing is the two nose pieces but I'll find out more as it comes together. Again, thanks for keeping all those parts! As far as keeping it goes, I do want to keep it for at least a little while. I've never really owned a Suzuki before aside from a 2007 GSXR 600 that I picked up from the dealership I was working at for cheap but only had it maybe two months. I've had close to 20 other sport bikes but only the one GSXR. Long term, I would love to but with already having my '12 R1 and '09 XV1900, a third bike might be hard to justify. I mapped it out already and I think I can get another one in the garage with the lady still being able to park in there but she might not be as thrilled as me. I am at least willing to give a shot for as long as I can though!
Those new wheels you got definitely deserve it's own post, especially that exhaust note.
