Got the new races in. I taped em up good for protection and will now continue stripping the frame. Maybe sounds like I did it in the wrong order, but I liked being able to heat up the frame and drop in the races. I wasn't going to torch my fresh paint!
You can also see the mods I did a couple yrs ago for the GSXR steering damper.

Doing a little bodywork on the swingarm. Seems odd somehow, but I want the most visible areas to be really smooth. There's lots of grinder marks from cutting off brackets I don't need anymore.

Welded in the extra braces you guys recommended. Kept a gap at the back for wires or whatever.

using paint stripper on the frame. I notice areas near welds are much tougher to get off. I think the paint got baked on and actually benefited from some heat. Except where it burned of course.

Omni epoxy primer. I started with a small brush to get inside some tight spots, like that rat's nest behind the steering head. Then spray, spray... and more spray...
I also did the swingarm and lower triple clamp just because I had a bit of primer left in the gun.
