Default Whats in derfs garage today

A buddy of mine just bought a 2003 GSXR 750 with 8k miles for $2500, a decent price for a bike with some rash on the plastics, but otherwise mechanically sound. It did need some work though, it was lowered a few inches and it required some effort to steer, both brake levers were snapped off, and it needed its first oil change for its new owner. The PO said it had an oil change 1k miles ago but who knows what year that was? it's 7 years old with about a thousand miles per year...

The bike as it sits now, a little short huh? it bottomed out getting into my driveway



I had some help getting the plastics off



And after



Yeh it was lowered a bit



The bike off its wheels so I can raise it back to stock





Stock parts (middle) vs lowered parts (outside)



Bike back on its feet, pulled the tank to look at the air filter



and just for shits and giggles my daughter pointed out to me what the plate meant.



And finally proof my son did some work, he actually took most of the body off by himself with some direction, and me starting the body screws for him. Then with some more direction he pulled off the side panels and nose
