It very well may be... my blue is a bit lighter for sure, but I was thinking on doing a single offset strip on the right side, kinda like a euro strip. We shall see..

Sounds like a threat to me, run Boostable! :ohmy: :woohoo: :laugh:

That's hilarious. I didn't even think how that sounded when I wrote it.

I like the idea of an offset stripe. I had considered that option as well.

Josh,

Read another 20 pages of your thread today, I think I am over half way now... Lol. Your gonna have to give me some info on the tail light setup, that is sweet!!!

frame looks neat!
i had to do the some reliefs in my tank for low offset/fat legged gsxr forks




keep up the good work

UF, bike looks good. Do you have a build thread going that I missed? I didn't do any reliefs on the tank, I just moved my stops in slightly. I dont think its enough to hurt the turn radius at all. (at least I hope not) lol..

Thanks,

Jack

Daughter snapped a few pictures today while I was doing some work in the garage.. figured I would post them..

No the turn radius is not a problem while riding. the only time its noticed is while turning around in tight areas , like the garage and what not.
The bike is looking good.

And here I have been envious of the nice, rounded tank on the 1000J as well as the early Z750 fours that you 'mercuns got :lol:

Ive got the same tank on my bike with an 08 gxr front end. turning isnt bad at all.our tank kinda xlopes back from the tripples.bike is looking sweet

Thanks guys.. I appreciate it. Coming along slow but sure!!
