07 GSXR 750 Mods

[jbraslins]

Thinking about picking up '07 750 and throwing following mods on it:

Ohlins TTX shock (sprung for 200lbs rider)
Ohlins 25mm cartridges for front forks (sprung for 200lbs rider)
Ohlins Adjustable Steering Damper
Vortex rearsets (reverse shift pattern)
Vortex rear stand spools
Galfer steel braided front brake lines
Vesrah SRJL brake pads
Yoshimura R55 GP Style Stainless Full System
PC3 USB plus ignition module, mapped for R55 full system and pump gas
Armourbodies Pro Series Supersport Bodywork (Full Kit)
Frame sliders



Any comments? Suggestions? Totally new to GSXRs so no idea what works good/bad.


Thanks!

Suggestions?

How about buying Rookies bike, which is already set up and is a proven winner?

Oh yeah, it'll cost you $7500 less than what you are now trying to do.

I am scanning WERA boards for deals.

Havent had a chance to find exctly what i want yet.

Definitely add a quickshifter to your arsenal.

And I agree, Id find one built up already, dont buy into that "what if he beat on it" bs you could always replace the motor if need be.

[eye-p]

You know, the more I think about this, the less I understand people.

Here is a guy asking about building a bike- which is for sale two threads down. Further, building a bike from scratch is going to cost twice what it would cost to buy one already built.
In this case, Rookie's bike comes with an extra set of CZ wheels, and is fully sorted.

Not just built, but sorted. Look at how that bike wears tires- that takes lots and lots of setup time. Good luck chasing your setup next year bro...

Did you even read the thread you're referring to lately?
The bike is off the market.

I'm Eye-p on this one; its a track bike man unless your a money winning team that NEEDS the best buy used. From your sig. your running mid-pack doing track days, no need for full on race bling at those prices. Buy a bike that is set up and save your money till you can really use it.

[jbraslins]

I am following some leads i got from the wera board. I appreciate the advice and if i find something that i like, i will gladly by used.

My plan is to do a few WERA amateur races next year.

My main question was about components? I know very little about GSXRs and what works/does not work for them.

Thanks for all the advice.

[eppy01f4i]

Stick with the common brands guys are using Ohlins, Penski, M4, Vortex, all you listed to be honest.

As far as rearsets, clip-ons I perfer brands I can find track side (Vortex, woodcraft, etc. ) Sato's, gilles, Arata are amazing products but dump your bike at the track and try to find a spare! Plus it the past months I have seen/heard of 3 Sato rearsets snapping off from rider weight; not saying this dosn't happen with cheaper brands but I have neer seen it. For $500 dollars the pegs better stay on!

To give you an idea of what you can get used I bought an 04 750 for $6400 a year ago with the following....

Really? Want to bet I can get you that bike today for $9500?

[eppy01f4i]

I think he was fed up with all the "tire kickers"

Thats exactly correct. The bike is still for sale, if there was to be a serious buyer.

[EngineNoO9]

anything is always for sale for the right price

[Jsstritz]

im pretty sure Rookie's bike is still for sale for the asking $9500. i wish it was for sale when i dropped the same amount on a stock 2007 750

Sorry i am not a mind reader. If the post says off-the market, i am not about to second guess it and call the guy.

What's with the attitude anyway? Did i offend you somehow?

The post does not even tell you anything about the bike.

Do your friend Rookie a favor, dont try to help him sell his bike. The only thing you achieved with your crappy attitude is ensure that I am not going to contact him. Like I am going to call him and give him $9500 in cash after this pissing match with you .... I feel really good about this one!

[AZ Scott]

Jbraslins, you must have missed Rookie's post before he deleted all the info about the bike. It looked and sounded to me like it was right up your alley. Completely set up and ready to go.

I don't know what eye-p's problem is either, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and get hold of Rookie about that bike...

Thanks, I'll PM him.

What do you think about this one:
Robert Jensen's 2006 GSX-R 750 - 13x Forums

[AZ Scott]

Can't go wrong there either, I suppose. That looks pretty nice. I don't know why these bikes are always on the east coast!

Seems like the ones out here are always thrashed...

"The bike runs strong and was never down in 2007"

I had an F4i I ripped the front end off for sale.... never down in 2006.
Don't ask about 05,04 ...... you following me on this one???

[EngineNoO9]

ha I was thinking the same thing.
