Pretty much got all the farkles on my GTR that I want. I need to be working on my bike if just for therapeutic reasons. Did think about cruise control, a repaint and the ultimate farkle, adding a turbo but I don't need any of those. So what do I do next (other than give it a damn good clean)?
You mentioned a while ago about doing the valves, is that still in the list of things to do?
Or you could go for the ultimate challenge, transferring all your goodies over onto a brand new GTR ;D
The valves will be done at 50k.
Of course, transferring to a new bike would be great, but that will be next year hopefully.
Kawasaki jet ski engine into the GTR? they supercharged and intercooled and kick out about 290HP and 263nm /27kgf m torque should give plenty of grunt be a bit of a tyre shredder though I would say :D
NB ... you know what I am going to say ... start cleaning it NOW ;D
It's very therapeutic so it will suit you too ! .. and of course you wont have to take things off and put them back on again !
have you modded the airbox?
Jesus Harry .... stop giving him ideas !!!!!!
I've just spent a very pleasant hour polishing the GTR. It gives you a sense of self satisfaction to look at a clean and presentable bike. ;D

What mods that then?
Not into the carbon modding. Looks ok, but not my cuppa tea.
I like the idea of a massage seat :D
increase trumpet size for better airflow....

Oh but I do. Currently ~36k on the clock, and 400 miles each week minimum
Need to put on the fender extender, radiator guard, and rewire the hyperlites.
Oh, might even give it a clean
Just cleaned mine which means it will rain in the next 3 days ,dont mind the cleaning after that do nothing just ride.
NB, I thought you had a fender extender on your bike.....if you'd have said you needed one I could have got you one last Sunday, I saw one laid in the road. ;D
