600 gsxr atv project

[Surfrjag]

Someone has given me a 600gsxr motor and a frame for a banshee (old j arm frame) he had already went to town cutting the motor mounts and part of the upper supports. it has actually been sitting for a few years but i think its time to finally start doing some work to this thing. its mainly going to be for drag racing however this isnt my style of race bike i decided to let a friend buy the parts it needs so he can race it and i will build it. its comming along slowly and we are mainly waiting for his tax return to foot most of the parts. lol.

we put the motor in trying to mock up a few things and seems like the handlebars are a little to far forward so in the process of moving them back i went ahead and redid most of the front end.

seems like i cant do much else with it until i get the throttle boddies to see if i gotta reconfigure the seat mount and i need the front tires to see how to build the ridgid front end. slow going project but i figured i would share

Subscribed! Looks like a fun build, going to be a trail bike right?

 

[wwholden]

Oooo yeah it does look like those intake ports are going to be in a tight spot

Looks like fun to me I:I. Any plans for the motor as far as extra powwa? Dirt or asphalt?

Funny thing is that by the time the frame is modded, might have been easier (better) to start from scratch. Not flaming you, just general observation.

i agree larry but this frame had been hacked up and now i dont have to build foot pegs, rear brake mounts, seat mounts, and i did use some of the front steering parts. not to mention the rear swingarm mounts. my next one will be a ground up build

 

[super noober]

oh boy here we go haha I:I cant wait to see this tearing up the busco strip!! I:I I:I

 

[Surfrjag]

it doesnt look like im going to have to do anything to the intake. i was talking about putting screen or something over them just to keep out big stuff.. it is a 4 stroke.. lol
