FABRICATION

The fabrication has begun! My dad and i dropped the motor today and checked everything over. I've decided to extend the fame 3 1/2 inches to fit the new radiator and have enough room to reach everything. I wont be using any of the old motor mounts or engine cradle. We are going to do this right and go back with all new stuff.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

during some dissassembly I found out the thermostat was stuck open so i went looking for one but the 2000 model thermostat housing was different from mine, WTF?? This meant i didnt have a 2000 modle motor!?!
I got the engine number and called my local Suzuki dealer... After some research i was informed that the number matched up to a 1998-99 bike. So this started a whole new parts seach. The same day i found a guy who has a 99 gsxr 750 he is parting out! Talk about luck!! I needed several parts like a radiator, speed sensor, exhaust, and a few other small parts to get this motor running like it should. I talked to the guy and he has all the parts i needed and is asking very fair prices for them so i am very excited!!!

If all checks out good i will be getting his speed sensor to get the tach and speedo to work, His custom Yoshimura exhaust with header, and complete radiator (with fan, sensors, all hoses, overflow container, thermostat and housings!)

Once i get all these parts i can finish the fabrication on the frame, brackets, and motor mounts. Once everything is hooked up amd mounted perfect i will take the motor to the Suzuki dealer to get it all checked out have the valves adjusted and whatever else it needs. hopefully there wont be any serious problems with the motor!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! i cant wait to get this thing running!! wish me luck!

THE BUILD

I just purchased a Dynomax Powercommander (Ebay), Stock exhaust can for now(Ebay), GSXR gauge cluster (Ebay), GSXR Service and Repair Manual (Ebay), I had Sidewiender Sprockes custom make rear sprocket for me that keeps GSXR specs and fits the warrior's bolt pattern, and a 525 "Smart Chain II".

So as of now I have dissassembled everything enough to drop the engine. Once the engine is out i will take it all apart inspect and rebuild nearly everything. Also, most of he wiring will probably need to be redone and cleaned up.

As far as the frame.. Let the fabrication begin! Most of the gussets and braces on stock warrior's frame will be removed and some new stronger ones will be welded in place. Brackets for fuses, wiring, and other electronics will be made as well and new stronger motor mounts. Everything will be test fit and run untill i am satisfied.

After everything works perfectly, it will all be taken apart and the frame and suspension will be powdercoated a metal flake dark green (color undecided). Some parts MAY be chromed or just powdercoated gloss black. The plastics will be sanded, braced to keep them from flexing, and painted flat black with GSXR 750 badges. The front plastics will be replaced with raptor 350 or maier moldings. The stock warrior headlights will be tossed and a set of halogen headlights and LED brakelights will be installed.
