Well done it again, a new bike for me :)

[SimJen]

Just traded in my K1 Thou on a K5 Thou.
Really tidy condition in a nice colour with low km's.
Sold my Ute and put the money with my K1 as a trade, had to get rid of my cage as they SUCK.
Picked it up during the worst rain storm ever.....FFS.
Luckily I had them put my Pilot Powers off my K1 on, so I had a lot more confidence on the way home.
Man K5's have some stomp, and a wicked induction roar too :)
Loving it so far.
Some mods I intend to do:
Crash bungs (if anyone has any they want to sell let me know otherwise probaly F1 engineering)
Change the red colours on the fairing to Blue (to match my leathers and to be different).
Possibly a pipe, racefit etc.
Otherwise leaving it pretty standard.

Heres a few pics

[MidnightMike]

woah, nice, colours the best. :rockon:

[98tls]

looks awsome....best colour....enjoy.....

[SimJen]

Yeah cheers guys, the colours are what made me buy it......don't see too many like it.

[TonyB]

Sweet bike, they look awesome in black

[98tls]

Just a thought.......extreme graphic do an awsome undertray for the GSXR.....comes with leds etc......pricey but very nice....i cant stand rear guards on anything.

[The_Dover]

why the hell would he need an undertray for a k5? built in indicators and a sealed undertray as it is.

just rip off the spade.

[Crazy Steve]

I can'T see them..

How many kms has it done

[98tls]

yea sorry got the wrong model........still like this though.

[Crazy Steve]

I Can't See Fckin Anything>>>>>>

Spank Get Me Out Of Here Please>>>>>>just Pull The Plug!!!!!!!!

You Fckn Loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiwifruit]

whoa, nice bike man, enjoy! :cool:

[SimJen]

Yeah I forgot to mention the "spade" will be getting pulled this weekend if I have time. I'll probably make a alloy plate holder to suit.
And yes Crazysteve, I got it from R&S with 13k

[Zed]

Cool new bike SimJen, i hope selling the ute and trading the old K1 is worth it!! :cool:

Crazy Steve, just 4 u here are the pics - one (http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~mgnock/k5%201.jpg) & two (http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~mgnock/k5%202.jpg)

[SimJen]

Zed yep Im sure it was worth it.
I never used the Ute anyway, it just sat in the shed getting a flat battery.
Plus with 40mpg the bike makes more sense for my daily commute.
I just hope the weather turns nice in the next day or two....

[Fishy]

Sweet ride mate!!! :niceone:

[Leong]

Congrats on the nice bike.... Great colour!!

[Grumpy Gnomb]

way cool looking bike and enjoy riding it especially as its really nice bike riding conditions. Ya summer

[SimJen]

Well cheers for the comments guys.
Heres a few updated pics.
I've chopped the rear spade off and made a couple of alloy brackets for the plate. The reg is neatly tucked in behind. Looks heaps better :cool:
Changed the red on the stickers to blue, apart from the R in the GSX-R logo which I feel should remain in red.
Added some stop scuff to the back of the tank so my leathers don't scratch it.
Need to get some crash bobbins.....soon.
Wife suggested some wheel tape in blue?....dunno might do it.

[Zed]

Wife suggested some wheel tape in blue?....dunno might do it.Looking pretty sharp now SimJen! I'd go for the blue wheel tape just to compliment the blue on the tank & fairing, and a mate up north has put red wheel tape on his K6 and it looks good. :cool:

[Pussy]

Go see Steve Bridge at F1 Engineering on Colombo St for the crash bungs. I got some for my K6, they fit good. Steve is a great bloke to deal with, real helpful. Congrats on the new bike

[onearmedbandit]

Great looking bike mate, love them in black.

[Street Gerbil]

Sweet ride, mate! Congrats! Enjoy your riding and stay out of trouble!

[SimJen]

Hmm, just got my new pipe :)
Its very cool.
Racefit Mega, bought from Jace at www.motostyle.co.nz for a primo deal.
It comes with Stickers, a cool little titanium keyring, earplugs :gob: , Bracket and instructions for fitting.
Weighs next to nothing.....well 1.125kg actually, heaps lighter than the stocker and no doubt very noisy in comparison.
Will hopefully be fitting it tonight and taking it for a quick blat.
Bike is almost complete now, just need a trip over to the mount early next year to get the fuelling sorted to suit the pipe.
I got some crash bungs too just in case :)

[Fishy]

Same as Dover's pipe. Very nice indeed!.

[boomer]

very nice; i'm envious

[kiwifruit]

nice choice in pipe :yes:
once its mapped you'll love it

[bistard]

Hey,great looking muffler!!
But it would appear that bike has an identity crisis,the bloody thing thinks its
a KTM

[SimJen]

Yeah its a british championship superstock bike, wierd but he must be sponsored by them.....strange to say the least.

Yes,I much prefer the black of your bike,we could stick a large yellow Museum
sticker up the side & go racing,jus like we did with Bruce Anstey two years ago!!

[SimJen]

Well got home, got it fitted. Really easy, remove the exhaust valve motor and pull of right side rear set, mount supplied alloy bracket behind and bolt back up. Snip wire at ECU so it doesn't error with the exhaust valve gone.
Start it up and WOW!!!!!
Wicked sound, sounds like 300 norse gods have come to my shed on horseback and their all pissed off I woke them up.
Took it for a peel down the road and it seems fine, no holes in the power as far as I can tell.
Loud pipes save lives ;)
