I'm doing a pretty decent sized upgrade-project on my '00. What started out as an innocent purchase of a MaxxECU Sport @smithabusa from Greg has now turned into a much larger(and expensive lol) endeavor.
But first a brief background of my Gen 1 story...
I was a full-blown GSXR nut back in the mid-late 80's when I saw the release of the '1986 GSXR 1100&750 in the USA. I was 15yrs old back in 1985 and cut lawns,shoveled snow,bussed tables at a local restaurant etc saved up half the money to buy my dream bike(g'ma matched however much I saved) at the time a 1985 Honda Interceptor 500. Loved it. Crashed it frequently as a squid. GSXR's came out a year later,sold the VF500 and bought a new blue white 1987 GSXR 750. Was a senior in high school. Had no car,wanted the bike instead. Several built/modded GSXR's including 7/11's etc til '99 when the copper silver Busa came out. Was dating my wife at the time,said as soon as they come out w a blue paint scheme I'm selling the GSXR and buying a Busa. Well,2000 the blue/silver came out and bought one. Was polishing the frame/swingarm etc (very popular back in the 90's) getting it ready for Daytona Bike Week in 2000 and a garage fire burnt everything to a crisp including the Busa (0 miles!) and a mint '92.5 Mustang LX 5.0 vert. Total losses.
Took a few months,found another blue/silver '00 and grabbed it. Did the Yosh drop in cams and a Power commander 2 w Yosh Ti Duplex pipe. Made 175rwhp. Then did a Carpenter 1397 w Ti-Force pipe,air-shifter,Adams modified adjustable stock arm etc. Made 218rwhp. Few years later went to a Carpenter 1430cc,made 228rwhp. Got bored and while building my K5 1000 turbo had a chance to grab a brand new Velocity/RPM Stg1 turbo kit for cheap. Sold the Carpenter 1430 and bought a spare 1/2" stud PST engine from Mike Tona at SAE Outlaw (awesome dude/builder/tuner-he built the bullet in my K5 and that's going on 13yrs old without a hiccup). Made 400rwhp maxed out. Rode it for half season,then like a fool decided I needed more horsepowers. Had several other bikes in the stable including the mint RG500 I recently posted.
Bought a slightly used GT3582R Velocity setup from Rick at Ricks Custom Cycle in MI. Had Richard at RCC modify the Velocity plenum to accept secondarys and his fuel rail along w Microtech MT-2. Had Mike at SAE set it up and he tuned it 100% through the stock ECU w ECU Editor. Made just under 500rwhp til it ran outta fueling;needed the Microtech MT-3 to make the 550rwhp it was supposed to,but never got around to it. Added AMS-1000,WEGO3,etc etc.
Rode it for a bit than lost interest and rode my 1441 Gen2 and the K5 turbo as the Gen1 needed expensive C-16 to have fun. Always wanted an RCC Ultra but the funds weren't there as raising a kid in NY ain't cheap lol..
Ok finally to the good part!!! Got the MaxxECU from Greg and as I was stripping off the unneeded AMS-1000,WEGO 3,MT-2 etc I decided I wanted an new setup. Called Richard a few weeks ago and ordered up a brand new complete Ultra kit w a custom upgraded TD twisted billet
wheel. Decided to strip the black wrinkle paint job on the frame and go satin black,along w the foot rests etc. Ordered OEM inner panels to replace the ones I had that had holes cut in for gauges,toggle switches etc. AntiGravity AT20HD battery. All new fittings/line from MPS Racing so I can re-plumb the air shifter along with a bar mounted momentary switch to activate the rolling anti-lag on the Maxx. New Dunlop Dragmax tire and Michelin Power 5 front. Re-dong the fuel lines/fittings w braided -AN stuff. And a new pair of BST 7 Tek wheels
Will post pics if y'all wanna see
