    Mechanics???

    If GixxerJockey and I....ok let me rephrase that. If I can't figure the electrical shit out on the GSXR with the help of GixxerJockey. I'm gonna be in the market for an inexpensive (if thats possible) mechanic.
    I've got a 2005 GSXR 750 that is being turned into a track bike. So I really don't need all the electrical things to work. i.e. headlights, turn signal, tail lights and so on.

    Any suggestions??

    Not for nuttin,
    BUT if GixxerJockey is helping you...the next stop would be his shop. Load the thing in the truck and take the ride. To give $$ to someone else would be a slap.

    Just my 2cents

    If I can't figure it out in my garage. It will most likely end up there. Hes already been a huge help pointing me in the right direction.

    also you may wanna check with former BadBoy Billy. not sure if it's only the K6 750's, but there was a known vibration issue with them. he bought some weighted bar ends and it resolved the vibration issue. may help since you'll be on the track with this K5 750
