fatblokeonbandit Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Just been for the first ride on this after sorting it out.... What a HOOT, haven't ridden a bog standard GSXR for years, my knees ached just looking at it, but i bent my old bones into shape and did 30 miles round the Trowbridge GP circuit What a laugh... Yes its big and heavy and got a ridiculous riding position for a 6.2 fat bloke, but it goes like a hairy bear and is fun fun fun... And it just like all the gsxr's i had yeasr ago, as soon as I set off it went on reserve,, Fek So do I keep it or sell it Im off for a lie down now 7 Quote

caferacerdan Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) keep it! i miss my 1100. wish id got it running right...it was big, heavy and long though! hence the 7/12 project now Edited May 28, 2016 by caferacerdan Quote
Oilyspanner Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Looks lovely FBOB ! I find mine more comfy than the Busas I've had. Keep it, add an Akrapovic and get the suspension working - lovely !! Quote
Nick Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Keep it! I agree with oily - fitting an akra makes it feel sooo much lighter. Here's mine: 2 Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Yes but an akra costs nearly as much as the flippin bike??????? anyway, hugger or no hugger?????? Quote
Nick Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I'm sure a man of your means can pick one up relatively cheaply! Oh, and I say with hugger, FWIW... Quote
Oilyspanner Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm for keeping the hugger, they look pretty good and do a fantastic job of keeping the crud from the battery box/shock/linkages area. If the Akra is close to the price of your bike, I'll give you a grand like yesterday !! I've got an Akra system (had a different end can), fitted now with a Quill carbon can - I picked the system up 2nd hand for £250 and the suitable can was £50, so not bad. Quote
alfiestorm Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Well if ya don't keep it you will in the not too distant future walk off into the woods and shoot ya self in the foot. Defo keep the hugger. White wheels well if you like cleaning them every 5 seconds go for it but on your bike I would get the spare wheels you have powder coated in a dark gun metal or black. For the zorsts I would take the whole system off and pack them away in the garage to be sold as gold later, to the anorak piece of mind genuine sump plug washer restoration brigade. I would then get a cobra speed pro system for it, yep they still make them in Germany and available on eblag too wotsit number is 231902231626 for information purposes or you can look up speed products on googlies or www.speedpro.de. Then I would fit a dynojet stage 3 kit with k&n dual filters, you will become addicted to the sound the standard carbs make when the have the stage three fitted with the dual k&n's as you hit the power. Absolutely loved that sound when I had standard carbs on mine. Howdy fbob 1 Quote
busa ash Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 if you have room to keep it ,then as its a great looker keep it mate if not i am sure a fellow old skooler will part with cash for this lovely example of a gsxr 1100 Quote
Del Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Keep the hugger,it stops crap getting on the pita circuit breaker Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 Unfortunately if ì am to renew my acu licence and have one last go at proddy racing with the CRMC, it will probably have to go to fund it??? Quote
