Very nice!

[bigamike]

havent taken many pics yet but the 1100 motor in the bike and running very rough but running will post some pictures soon

what are you running for carbs? the gsxr engine is gonna eat more fuel and air compared to your 600 engine. What are you running for air filters?

[bigamike]

im running i believe they are 34mm mikuni flatslides that came with my motor aswell as i slightly modified the air box that came with the motor to work in my frame and i have a higflow k&n filter in the air box

wasnt able to post pictures of a the build due to a corrupted memory card but hears a video of the bike pretty much done , i have to replace the tire due to a 1inch long screw so i decided to kill it a bit. ill see what pictures i can take now to show how it looks so far

Update

in that video the bike wasnt firing on all 4 cylinders once corrected bike ran great for about 3 weeks until 2nd gear went which than was followed by me crashing the bike!!! so now it has underwent another transformation. it now has a 92 gsxr 750 inverted front end, 2005 hayabusa brake calipers, a new motor out a 2000 bandit 1200, also a bandit rear shock the spring rate on the gsxr shock was way off , this winter the bike will be undergoing surgery once again and getting A FRESH paint job as well as a swing arm conversion to the bandit 1200 swing arm!!!

So it will still be slower than a gsxr 600 and handle like a school bus?!?

Yay for unrealistic expectations!!!

it'll be slower until my 1127 is fully rebuilt and the handling like a school bus i can deal with the bike isnt being built to go around a track

I can guarantee a gsxr 600 will eat your bike and poop it out before you leave the line, but if it makes you feel better thats all that matters

Thats cool, but every joe schmo with a gsxr will be waiting for you to catch up at the next stop sign or at the end of a long straight
