In some cases, simplicity is key when it comes to modifying your ride. And this rings true with Dominic Groccia's 2005 Suzuki GSXR 20th Anniversary Edition. In just under two weeks, Dominic transformed his nearly stock GSXR into what it is today, a subtle yet sultry machine.
Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, and when the bad is an ignorant old lady ramming you off your old ZX6R at a stopsign, sometimes the good is the opportunity to get another bike! And here is where Lana, the GSXR, makes her debut. Now much more acquainted with the asphalt with lowering links installed, the stance increases in aggression once extending the swing arm an additional 6 inches.
At the handle bars, you notice blade levers silently antagonizing your fingers if you aren't paying attention when you brake or shift.
Color coordinated frame sliders are to preserve the Anniversary fairings in case shit happens.
To keep a balanced ride height, adjustments were made at the struts.
Integrated turn signals present a much streamlined aesthetic to the bike.
Dominic had to say goodbye to his blue anniversary chain to make way for a longer chain to accommodate the stretch, also incorporating a new steel braided brake line.
Extending the wheel back 6 inches, the bike sits perfect. But I can’t help to wonder if the owner will later find himself wanting a little bit more.
Carbon fiber wheels huggers subtly enhance the overall look of the bike
Motivational words to keep the rider in his state of mind.
Integrated LED tail light to profoundly complete the smoother lines from the front throughout.
Dominic has moved out with the old, and in with the new! The GSXR is looking great already with what has been achieved in only two weeks. Although the owner claims he’s “finished” with the bike, which we all know that’s never true, I can’t wait to see what the bike looks like in the future!
