Ok im trying to beef my 05 gsxr 600 into a ****ing tank..i know everyone says they are total **** but i like it...bp is high...and it is a smooth rider. Now Im going to get a tank. and im going to dent it in...im going to reinforce my subframe. i heard the dude from mxd is shifty. i know its either powers or mxd for me..i just dont wanna get ****ed outta m oney...i will get pissed. ill just make a 12 bar. and ima get a headlight. when i get my taxes back im gettin my cage first. This cage is gunna be for all tpes of riden....mainly highway and slow ****.:YEAH :YEAH
Just let me know if i've missed anything. and let me know about mxd guy.

 

who says jeff is shifty? he's been more than helpful to me. and his cages are very well built.

 

yeah, Jeff is a great guy. you got bad info.

you're never gonna make the gixxer a tank, it is what it is. want a tank? get a honda. I'm not bashing because I love my little gixxer.

 

an indestructible gixxer is like perpetual motion........doesn't exist and never will.....haha


you can help the gizzer out though......oil pickup, cage, bar, reinforce the subframe, and have plenty of spare parts laying around anyways.......rearsets, pegs, clip-ons, levers...standard stuff that would break on any bike really

 

++1 ^^^^ he pretty much covered it all.. and dont forget that oil pickup because theyre so cheap compared to a new motor :YEAH

you might wanna make friends with a good welder too

 

Jeff(MXD) is the best business man I know. Keeps his word and hooks up all my friends I've ever sent to him. Couldn't be happier with his product and service! Now about the Gixxer, can't help ya. Shoulda bought a honda

 

someone told me oilpickups are hard as **** to put in..

 

I want to talk to him can someone pm me his number??? i have a cingular phone so i hope he has the same.im for sure gunna get one of his cages we just gotta rearange something for the payment i dont got paypal or nuttin so ill have to see whats goin on and whats teh easiest way to do itfor both of us

 

someone told you wrong. take off the left side plastics, exhaust, and header. remove the oil pan, change the pickup. reassemble and don't forget the oil!

Ok so when i take the headers off...then remove the oil pan.... what do i do with that pickup???

 

you just take off the old one and replace it with the new one. just get the stuntex piece, best 60 or so bucks you can spend.

and there's only one header....

 

Stuntex oil pick up eh? ok and it bolts up where teh stock one was???

 

and is there anything i can **** up in the process???

 

shouldn't be, you're probably gonna end up moving the radiator a little bit. I took mine off and swapped the fluid to water w/ WAter Wetter in it. it's a pretty basic job if you're a decent mechanic.

 

you got aim so you can walk me through this and show me pics?? aim or msn or something

 

nope, I'm at work. it's really not that hard man. take it apart, put it back together. maybe 20 bolts and screws total (not counting the fairings)

 

i thought the guys at Powers were real helpful and seemed pretty professional to me despite what others have said about them in the past. On the other had, my buddy got his cage from MXD and said they had pretty good customer service too but it took em a little longer to get the items to him. Both delivered great products in the end so it doesn't look like you can go wrong here ...

 

hell yea im gunna get a mxd after i talk to jeff.

 

my buddy got his 2000 gix750 back sunday after 8 months of getting the crank/rod bearings and $460 total of parts replaced in the motor....rode it monday for 10-15 minutes, then got it out today, less than 5 minutes after taking it of the trailer the rod bearings were out again.......now we're looking for another motor for it!!!! so if anyone has or can get a 2000 or so gsxr motor let me know

 

Waht causes taht anyone kbnow???
