Ok guys i have the tank primed, ready to be sanded and primed again, I also came accross a set of polished gsxr wheels front and rear. Had to buy them got a sweet deal also just today bought some conti motion tires for them. So most likely going to run the gsxr wheels, bumming because I just can't get a rotor on my stock wheels to line up with the gsxr calipers. Anyways pics soon!!!

New rubber conti motion 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear. I went with the 180 because the 190 tire is 50 aspec ratio and I wanted the taller sidewall.

Also picked up a 2004 gsxr 600 swing arm, most likely will be mounting it upside dwn and using the stock kz suspension. Any thoughts on mounting it upside dwn?
