Thanks, it looks super cool when running.
The clutch cover and the retainers were made in germany by Nilles.
He is able to use his freinds machine shop when it closes for holidays.
The minimum run is around 10, he can be contacted on svrider.com
The group buys are usually advertised there.
They can also be used on the pointy or gen2 bikes

I wouldn't have thought the indicators are all that visible from the rear are they? It's tildy and bling for sure. Just don't think the gsxr rear end quite suits the bike. The lines don't flow quite right for me. Too many straight lines compared to the rest of the bike. Still sweet though.

The indicators are more obstructed than I would have liked, they can be seen from the rear when your in a car (have tried this), more importantly, the quality of them is rubbish, I will replace them at some point and try to get them higher.
Point taken with the lines of the bike. A fairing and belly pan swap is next on the agenda. Perhaps the top section of late model Gsxr or maybe just the 2nd gen fairing. I looked at 1098 and 996, too.
Sorry, tell me what is "tildy"

Yeah sorry about that. I meant tidy. Fat finger issues.

Looks tidy, but I would have just bought a Gixxer!

If the GSXR came in a V-Twin version I would have bought it.
But then where is the fun in the modding?
