Converting a GSXR1000 to stunt
Ok, I've got me a crashed 2002 GSXR1000 that I'm rebuilding (new frame & forks). I'm turning it into a dedicated stunt bike. It'll be riden on the street, but streetability isn't much of a concern since I already have a street bike.
It's got a pipe and rearsets which I'll be replacing with stock ones. I plan on ditching the ram air tubes, ignition key and kill switch. (I'll swap the kill switch/starter function over to the high beams/horn on the other side). I'd like to install a second radiator fan with both on a manual switch to keep things cool. I'll disable the knock over switch and go with a teather. I guess I'll dump the stock stock guages and go with a bicycle speedo for street use.
My questions are as follows:
- Which crash cage should I get?
- Which wheelie bar should I get?
- Are there and strong (steel?) fairing stays?
- What small fairing/headlight should I get?
- What dirt bike bars should I get?
- I've got NRC race covers - Should I install them or leave on the stockers?
- What gearing should I run? (525 chain - anylength)
- Anything else I should do to make this thing wheelie/stoppie/crash better?
Is there anything I'm missing here?

get a mxd cage and then ride that **** stock. learn with stock gearing and then you can wheelie anything. hit me up if you want a pimp cage. get a 12 bar from freestyle inginuity. i heard they work pretty good.

This brings up an idea I have. Has anybody thought of adding some delrin to the front mounts of a FI cage, where it mounts to the top engine bolts? I am refering to mine on a gixxer, I just figure like this there is a nice cushion between the frame and the slider, not metal on metal which has a tendency to strip and break. Just an idea, if you see this post Tim, feel free to try it and send me some pics...

i recommend cages and 12 bars from 905 cause i've crash tested them plenty of times myself and still havent touched the plastics the only damage i've done is break a couple of front brake levers
and for the gearing im 2 down 11 up and it's the ****

Thanks for the advice guys.
I think it would be simple to mount sound small mushroom type frame sliders to the 905 cage (from the pics I've seen at least). Just drill a hole through the tube where you would put the socket to install it and get some delrin on a lathe. Turn it so it's a tight fit down the holt and put an R clip to secure it into place. voila.
