Wuz up. My names Travis. Been riding about 3 1/2 years now. My best friend has been riding since he could walk so that's how I really started getting into it. After riding the same bike (another friends) for the last 3 years he gave me the opportunity to buy it...sooo I did. ha.

Since I bought it, I've basically been cleaning it up, fixing the many small issues I've had with it since I started riding, but I just didn't want to sink money into something that wasn't mine.

When I bought it, it had frame sliders, the exhaust, and tinted shield and turn signals(which I put on both).

Since I've bought it, it was missing one bar end so I replaced both, put a new chain and sprockets on. I went +2 in the rear and stock in front with a 520 chain. My girlfriend loves riding so it helps a bit downlow. I replaced the cracket front fender, and I am now in the process of powdercoating the rear sets and passenger pegs. Last but not least, I cleaned/buffed the everliving crap out of it...

Here she is with my other weekend toy...

2006 GSX-R 750

Also, I am actually looking to sell/trade the Akrapovic Titanium header/Carbon pipe and put a stock setup back on. If anyone is interested please let me know.

+1 on the Akra comment. Nice looking bike. One of the few paint schemes that Suzuki does that I like.

I'm honestly just not a huge fan of the full length pipes, I dig the low short pipes. Also, the exhaust was modified by the previous owner and I think it'd be better to just sell as a setup because I'm not 100% sure on if it'll bolt up to a stock header. However if anyone in the area has one laying around and would like to get rid of it cheap I'd be down to buy it and see how it works out.

Otherwise I'd honestly just like to swap for a stock setup and some cash. I'd like to dump some change into a set of C6 Z06 brakes for the bird...lol. Always somethin... :twisted:
