When you said small bolts I figured you were looking for non essentials... for the Frame, yeah, I agree with you should go stock, or find equally rated bolts...

The bike is at the fab shop now. I'll be picking it up BY Wednesday. It's getting the rearset bolt hole welded on. Can't wait to see how it turned out. My REAR PP2CT showed up yesterday, the front will be here Monday, along with my new tail fairing. Should be ordering my main fairing stay within the next couple weeks, along with a set of mirrors. The PAINT... *sigh*, paint guy is diddly ****ing around, don't know WHEN I'll get those things done.
Cleaned and painted crank case cover. Sadly, no "before" picture...Sorry.
New skin for the rear:

Okay, so, I missed a UPS delivery yesterday(signature required), I get a note stating they'll try again tomorrow(today) between 10:30-2:00. I wait at home all day. 6:45 comes and the truck pulls in. After stating my displeasure with the misleading note, I let the UPS driver go on his way. Then I started working on the undertail that came in the huge box he'd dropped off. I'll have more pictures as I make more progress on it. But...Here it is:
I'm trying to think of how I want to integrate the turn signals into this:
It LOOKS black, but it's actually "chrome":
It's pretty chipped up, but all in all in pretty ****ed good condition considering I only paid $83.00 shipped for that AND the entire tail fairing that has only a single crack in it.
Mirrors will be here tomorrow, both my PP 2CT's are here, I'll have them mounted and balanced RIGHT before it's ready for inspection. Still have to buy the main fairing stay, some frame sliders and figure out what to do about the rear turn signals. Tank is sanded down with 120 grit, just patching up what the PO messed up with a quart of Bondo. After that, I'm ready for paint!!!sigpic

I think I'm going to get these turn signals and add some fiberglass into the under tail to "integrate" them. I'll probably keep the same basic shape of the signals, but kind of smooth it out so they don't stick out QUITE as much. No more on the height, that's for sure. Just kind of smooth out the sides a bit to kind of blend like the tail lights.
Thoughts?sigpic

So, I picked up the GSXR from the fab shop. Turns out, it LOOKS like they had their new guy do the work. I'm not overly upset, the rearset bolt hole won't be seen anyway. Though, there was a little dent in the frame I wanted filled...THAT one, I'm not happy about. I'll save you all the pain of looking at THAT, and say that the frame will most likely get painted.
So here's the rearset tab they welded on for me.
This is how I picked it up:
After a little grinding, I drilled the hole and realized that there could be just a BIT more aluminum on there:
So, yeah. That's what I have going on right now. I do believe the rearset tab will work out just fine, which was the MAIN thing I needed done. Just wish I'd have left the small dent in the frame.sigpic

When in doubt, lean more.

Okay, so fine...Here's the mess with the dent in the frame:
This is how it looked when I brought it home from the fab shop, hit it with the grinder for a second:
Grinded, sanded, then wiped clean...WOOPS!!!:
This is the ABSOLUTE best I could get it:
Which is why I'm considering the black frame. Kind of like the look of cintidude04's GSXR frame.sigpic

Even though it takes a little more talent to weld aluminum right, I would've thought a shop would want to do at least a decent job since their name is on it....1992- project katfighter
