      the calipers need to be kinda forced off. then kinda pull them off on an angle. leave the bleeder cap rubber piece on. that is the part that you want angled out first, wiggle a little and it should pop right out. once you do it a few time, it makes taking the rim off and doing brakes a breeze. ive never had to take the brake pads out when pulling calipers off. ill do a little video how-to tonight when i pull my front rim off!


      the paint on my rims are oem
      I had to file down raised letters on the wheel spokes, or the little crossover brake fluid tube on the inside of the caliper would hit!

        AWESOME build! The big kits really snort when you whack 'em open hey? I almost pooped the first time it lofted in third rolling on at 4-5 grand!

        That exhaust must be absolute chaos for everyone and everything around you! SWEET!

          Hrmm, I guess I will just work through it. Although taking the brake pads out takes about two extra mins. to do.

              paintaman, im gonna do a how to on removing calipers probably today. i took the pics last night when i did my front end, just got to put some words to it.....


              the final paint should be revealed today once i get her back together. i sourced up a new tail so i can get rid of the sharkskinz, that way the wife can ride, now i need to get a solo cowl when she aint on

                ok, got another update once again.....finished painting the forks, front rim, inner rotors, and frame spar. so this is what the bikes pretty much gonna look like beside when ever i get around to paint and bolt on a oem gsxr1k tail.....well that and an oil temp, vac and possibly a innovative wideband (if i feel like drilling and welding my nice exhaust for the o2 bung)


                its suppose to look like this, i dusted the blk with the copper about 4feet above the rotor, didnt want too much copper in front and i didnt want a totally black inner rotor, so i met it half way...lol.






                if the fairing dont look like they dont line up its because there just held in by one or 2 bolts and not tightend, i wanted to give the frame another wipe down and cleaning before it gets totally wrenched down and on the road.....best believe there will be more videos coming when i make it to the track, and more pics for possibly kotm....if its worthy. i thank every one for the props and for following this build. 14 months in the making, and maybe 2more weeks in fine tuning (dyno)

                    Awesome build man. Just jaw dropping.

                    I want nitrous on my SV soo bad. Not for the engine though but for a colored purge. HA HA....

                        Wow. I love creativity and unique projects. You really took it a step above the norm with this one.

                        ..and btw, it's worthy of a KOTM.

                            i will try and remember to bring my cam when i get it dyno'd. im in the middle of trying to find vinyl that is close to the copper/bronze color on my bike. i thought about doing chrome vinyl, but that will look too much like my 750. i wanted to get a decal made the said katRoid with the "r" in the gsxr style. and then getting a decal for the tail that said gsx600f with the 600 crossed out and 1216 really small

                              Clear vinyl could be painted any color you want on the inside, including having lettering painted first, then a overcoat to color the rest.

                              It's a pretty cool effect.

                                that sounds like a lot of F*cking around. how can you paint the back side of a vinyl when theres adhesive on the back......? thans for the idea though
