Been in storage for 10 years. Everything that has to do with brake fluid is leaking... So starts the changes. 2007 GSXR1000 front end, 92 GSXR750 rear wheel, manual petcock, Electrically adjusted stearing damper, lithium battery,(RPM parts, voltage regulater, clutch slave cylinder,integrated turn taillight, carb kit) GIVI rack and bags, trailtech voyager for speedo, red ss braided brake and clutch lines. I think I have all of  the parts together. The fork extensions are being reworked(too thick hitting in a couple of spots). Last thing I have to make is the risers to match the fj handle bars to be welded to GSXR clippons. Oh yah and mount for voyager. I figure it will be atleast 40 lbs lighter(without GIVI).I'm hoping to have it running in a couple of weeks (so it'll probably be a couple of months) Wish me luck

Yah it's a trail gps and it also reads off a magnetic speed pickup. Plus its got engine temp, tach and all kinds of other things it does. I'm useing one unit for my atv's, a mini chopper, and the FJ. You can get the sending unis from them for each machine.

Trailtech voyager It's fairly new. New to me too. Haven't used the gps for trails yet. Is not for street. Hope they develop software for street use someday. But for now it's a great speedo and moniter for engine

digital dash? I really like my Acewell ... got one on my DRZ and FJ


giantkiller

Trailtech allows me to justify the cost. Since I'm going to use it 1 for 4 different machines. I've wanted one for my 700 raptor since they came out. For trail gps. And I realized I can use it for speedo and engine monitoring on other machines

Got GSXR wheels back from powder coating. I put the bearings in them (I'll probably be replacing the rear again I got them Little too tight) mounted and balanced the tires last night. Made the steering stop, and bracket for the electric adjusted steering damper, tacked them up. Damper fits almost perfect under fairing. Put the toggle switch for it where rocker switch for reserve used to be. Painted the Gsxr front fender to match FJ red.
