October 9th I'll be running in a 4hr endurance. Tonight, finally got the stickers on and it's actually starting to look like a race bike.

Still have a lot of odds and ends to do but here's basically what it looks like. The aluminum lunch box is an oil catch (by regs). The clock on the left is a modified stop watch that I rigged up with an old TZ kill switch on the left bar.

WOW!!! Thanks!!!

That's really cool. I sure hope I put it back together right, now I have people on several points of the globe watching...

Here are a few more a bit larger... I tried to get better lighting this time, except it gets dark too soon!

Late addition. A ZXR750R ('92) rear hugger. Two bolts and tie wraps for now. I'll make better brackets after the race.

That is some amazing bike prep! I keep looking back at the pictures and noticing additional exceptional details.

Really looks like something done by a factory team. I will be very interested to see how it looks immediately following the endurance race!

A thing of real beauty.

Yeah, I guess I should have posted the 'post race' pic as well...

2nd "Superbike" behind a CBR1000RR and in front of a Ducati 999...

5th overall (out of approximately 50 teams). Way beyond any pre-race expectations

well done mate could you tell us the mods on your engine please

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2006 12:09 am**

No engine mods, just a rebuild and minor port cleanup. FCR41mm, SP Tadao exhaust and an OVER Racing ignitor.

Max in race trim your bike really does look the TITS mate

Good Job

that makes it even more impresive, must feel good to be beating bikes with twice the power and almost 10 years younger is your exhaust a full system or just end cans, is the tail unit a japan only item. the reason I ask so much is I would like to know whats best before I buy anything for my bike

totally gorgeous bike mate, never liked white bikes but with all the logos on it really does look cool.
A HUGE round of applause is due to you mate, you stuck it to the big boys bigtime.
