This has to be the strongest track day org in the North-East,
first season as a "Full Throttle" member and a happy camper so far:

Away with the GMD revalved and resprung gold forks...
Here's the new set (09 750 forks) with even stiffer springs- just another backyard quickie

After two days at NJMP with TTD, the bike will need a few things revised.
Honestly though, at this point I'm more concerned how I ride the bike and not what I will put on it next, well maybe other than an aftermarket rear shock.
I've put this many miles on it this season in 10 or 11 track days so far

I'll throw in a few pics from NJMP
This gentleman crashed the green s1000rr twice during the back to back days,
this is when the bike was still spotless

I've had enough with the oem Nissin brake master cylinder- nothing but mushy feel on the lever and somewhat noticeable fade throughout the day on the hotter laps.
I got a Brembo 19x18 master cylinder with the folding lever and a titanium banjo bolt

Bought a set of Woodcraft clip-ons on the Wera forums,
I want to see how the change in angles and reach will reflect on my riding.

I'll throw in a few pics of my Thule 7x14 V-nose trailer- double axle and lightweight aluminum.
These are pics from last week at NJMP with my 750, a friend's gsxr1K and and my other buddy's red zx10r

I'm currently awaiting impatiently a bunch of parts from eBay and the WERA forums.
Last Tue at Thunderbolt my bike had an unexpected hiccup b/n turn 1 and 2 late in the afternoon. It felt like the engine stall for a moment while I was exiting turn 1 and the rear tire locked up resulting in me loosing forward progress and although the bike fired right up
the rider behind me locked up his front tire and washed out with his bike slamming into mine.
I didn't go down but my bike needs a new swingarm, rear wheel, rear brake caliper and brake line, subframe and tail section.
I hope I have a chance to have the bike up and running by the end of this week and
aslo be able to diagnose and fix what caused the engine stall.

Bought one of the machined cut and lightened rear rotors,
this one is in the "arrow" style and supposedly the lightest version

And as always, I'm constantly adding to my collection of sprockets.
AFAM now makes their rears in black

Some of the orgs we ride with are very strict about safety wiring (pretty much everything).
Instead of drilling the oem oil filler cap, I got one of these pre-drilled billet caps

Well, it's yet again time to rebuild the 750 and with the track season around the corner
I have a pile of oem replacement parts and also a few really nice aftermarket things.
First thing first- I slightly upgraded my camera, enter the Canon S95

Here's a long overdue suspension upgrade,
this is a Penske 9897 triple clicker that I need to send out to be serviced.
The spring is roughly for 180 lbs. rider (fully suited up with a helmet on),
it just needs fresh oil

And another item that I had my eye on last season- the HM Plus Quickshifter.
This is a true stand-alone quickshifter that doesn't connect to a fuel management unit
or timing advancer device. From all the feedback I had gathered prior to purchasing,
this is the finest quickshifter on the market bar none.
The thing comes in a sweet little case too

I will get both of my sets of Armour Bodies race fairings painted for this season.
And since my seat got busted up last year in my last crash,
I got a new one, this time switching it a little and going for blue as there will be
blue on the plastics

My rear brake caliper took a shot in my last crash. The banjo bolt got knocked out and the brake line was dangling only attached to the mc.
I'll play the game and replace it with the 13 oz lighter 09 (and newer) gsxr 1000 Nissin rear brake caliper and caliper mount

I realize I've just been posting pics of parts with nothing bolted on yet...
Here's more- axleblock sliders from Driven.
I've had two swingarms on this bike so far that had the spools/ sliders ripped completely off.
I'm waiting for my eBay rear wheel and once it's here I will start putting it all together.
OEM wheels for now due to the fact that in two seasons so far
I've managed to bust up two sets.

My replacement black rear wheel is here. I needed a worn (or oem) tire mounted on.
I will have the bike ready for at least a quick run in the parking lot at my storage place
this weekend.
I have two other rears for this bike (well, four others counting the bent/ busted ones),
but I have brand new race rubber on both of them and didn't want to send the bike to the dyno that way- it would have chewed them up and put unnecessary heat cycles on.
Yes, that is one nosy white cat checking out that wheel...
Here's one more with the cat

Got one of these in the mail today- it's the line laser version (not the dot)
and it's f*ckin pricey for what it is but why not have it.
The aggravation that a rear wheel swap on these gixers causes (just bad design IMHO)
and in hopes to cut down time spent wrenching b/n sessions at the track, enter this:
