2003 Gsxr1000

I finally bought a Riv-Nut tool, as I can think of a couple times it would've been useful.
I'm going to put them in the 2 swingarm holes where the rear fender mounts...a little stronger and better than the self tapping screws that the fenders come with...or tapping a thread and a half in there and hoping it holds, lol.

First class!

Rick's Electrics lithium battery regulator/rectifier, plug and play(the black one, the gray one is factory).
It's also a little smaller...but almost a half ounce heavier, lol

Is this all I need to install a lithium battery?

Titanium rear sprocket nuts.
They are 5 grams lighter a piece...which saves me about 7/10 of an ounce of rotating mass....somebody calculate the hp gain, lmao
But, they do have the nylon locking inserts...and they're shiny...

Hi. It will be 1/ 10000 of a sec guicker in 1/4 mile.

RaceTech Gold valves ordered...the 'finished' list is getting shorter, lol

MagKnight tank protector.
It's supposed to be flat black, but it matches the frame.
I like it better than the typical center tank protectors, and put one on my new 2002 Gsxr1000...over 22 years ago, wow.
I still may put some side grips on the cover itself, I don't know yet.
I think it'll look better with the seat and fairings on it.
I have a new black synthetic suede cover from LuiMoto on the way too.

I put the old nose and windshield on to test fit the clearance for the fluid cup for the Brembo master cylinder.
This is about where it needs to be now.

Oh, and MagKnight ships the tank guards like this, so they don't wrinkle or crease during shipping.
They smooth on by hand pretty easily, but a little heat from a hair dryer makes them perfect in just a minute or two.

and the carbon fiber look MagKnight I had way back on my '02

I agree
I wanted the black 2001(still do), but couldn't find one anywhere, so I got a blue/white 2002.
I always liked the blue/white Gsxrs, and the hoon factor was strong...as every 600, 750, and 1000 had a similiar color scheme for years, so it was easy to blend in, lol

Yes, sorry, I just saw your post.

I remember my '02 was plenty fast too.....compared to today's bikes it's an old wore out dinosaur but in it's day, it was something to be revered....

I took it to a Suzuki track day in I believe '04 and it turned out some decent numbers if I recall....

They can't compete with today's 1k's in acceleration, but they are still very quick by any stretch.
