Who’s going to be the first to re-tail their Gen 3

Nice and that’s cool man. I’m certainly here to talk about bikes lol.

I got a shock travel sensor and am curious to see what the shock is really doing.

I ordered a Penske and set it to “stiff”

any updates on this i’d kill for a s1k or xr1k tail for my gen 3

I’ve looked into it and it’s more work than I want to do with everything else I have planned and going on in my life.

When my work schedule slows down in fall I may buy a S1K subframe and see what I would need to do to make it work. But until then I think people are riding out the Gen 3 tail. It has more room somehow than a Gen 2 so there’s no easy swap.

Race parts are also coming out for Gen 3. There’s stock length and +18 tails out. Once catalyst makes a +4 or +6 I think there will be no need for the masses

A friend of mine who has owned a number of bikes over the years mentioned that Suzuki seems to have a "thing" with large tails....he jokingly said the designers much have big-butt fetishes......

If we look back at even the older bikes like the SRAD GSXR, or the TLR-S and all the older GSX-F bikes, they've all have big booties....

The gen 1 was ok, the gen 2 went over the top and the gen 3 even more so....

Whelp.


Parts have been ordered. Might be ambitious, but if everything goes to plan I’ll have a sub 4.5lb subframe/fairing setup in January.
