www.mrcycles.com
Dropped about 590 bux for just those 3 pieces. Wrecks are expensive. :(
Can't complain about the service from Mrcycles. I called them instead of using their site. Sales guy was helpful and friendly and the parts came when he described and as he described. Good service thar.

They are good people over there and really good to dal with.
I hate installing GSXR plastics. My buddy went down one day and I told him that I would install his plastics if he claims it...to save some money. He claimed it, I installed his whole right side, upper and the gas tank cover thing on the front of it. Took forever. It was maintly the upper I had trouble with. The sides aren't too bad though.

stator cover?
Good frame sliders woulda helped in that case.
Audiomechanic
03-15-2008, 11:18 AM
That is true/ Frame sliders would have. I crashed early on in owning the bike before I had the moola to put FS's on. Oh well.
The stator cover is getting painted today. I was able to sand the crap out of it and got all fo the scratches and gashes out. Just gotta paint it, reinstall, finish detailing with the said panels off, reinstall, inspect, take pics, and post up.
I'll be in Puerto Rico all next week so I won't post it til next weekend.

Thanks, man. I'll be working the whole time so, dunno if I'll have time or strength to. I'm hoping it's going to be open overtime...if so, I'm injecting coffee straight into the veins and working round the clock.
BTW, Vabs, you are the most excited forum member I have ever seen. :dthumb:
I'm waiting on the 1st coat of paint to dry on the cover. Once I get a few coats on, I'll get some pics of the cover up. It's lookin pretty good so far.

It's not perfect but most of the imperfections will be covered once the plastics are reinstalled. I used High gloss enamyl that is washable.

Definitely looks 1000 times better than the scratches.

Thank you, sir.

I agree. It's a washable enamel as well so it won't come off after the first bike wash (hopefully not after 100 bikes washes either). Took 2 coats of primer and 4 coats of the enamel. I'm doin some waxing on the body panels tonight while every thing's apart. That way I can get to the nooks and crannies that I couldn't on the bike.

damn bro... I'm sorry you have to sell her... that sucks ASS
Audiomechanic

It does. But debt sucks worse than that.
At least I have found a way to budget a replacement bike (a MUCH cheaper one) and pay down debts at the same time. I'll be in better shape financially after she sells.
I just hope she goes to a track nut who's gonna take her out for romantic afternoons on the asphault.

no doubt! good luck with the sale!

I might already have it sold! I guy stopped by today and inspected it. He stopped by on his own bike and handed me an earnest check so I let him take the gix for a ride. He said he's coming back tomorrow with cash. 7K. Not bad. I can do some debt damage with that!

Well, it happened today. I saw her ride off with another person in the saddle. :cry: Being responsible blows.

Congrats on the sale!
Don't worry, it will help you securely back in the saddle soon enough

I know. He missed a shift down the block too! I wanted to run after him and yell "GTF off the bike! I'm taking her back!!!"

Sorry it had to go. Now whats in your mind as a replacement once you can afford it?
Audiomechanic

I'm thinking about a Honda Magna. BEFORE I GET BURNED, hear me out. 1) It's comfortable. Bout the only thing to do 'round H-town is sit in traffic or ride in a straight line. 2) I can pick one up for 3K in good shape. 3) It's FAST! If I'm going for a cruiser, I want one with some nuts. 4) It handles pretty well for a cruiser for those times when I do happen upon one of the 4 curves in SE Texas.
My dad used to own one. They last forever and I put more miles on his than he did. It's an all around decent bike and one that affordable. Gotta love a V4.
If I lived in CO or the like, I'd be after an SV1000S but I live in a giant drag strip so...
Hey, get what works for you. As long as it's two wheels, that is. :)
