The Power Plant... 2002 Suzuki GSXR 1000 150 RWHP



The Recipient... 2003 Yamaha Raptor
the Suzuki Z400 would have been the choice of frames,
but Z parts are hard to come by... Raptor's are a dime a dozen, go figure



The jig to hold it all straight once the frame cutting begins...
yes, there will be many more frame supports added to the jig before cutting begins



The Beginning...
yeah, I know it fits right now,
but the frame still needs to be cut and modified to get everything to line up nicely





And let's not forget the sound you all will be hearing...
You will know when I am coming... People will be miles away and say there's Crash



And shelves full of parts to put it all together after the modification's are complete...



The frame cut, and the motor mounted...



The exhaust and subframe are next on the list. The stock GSXR header will be cut off somwhere just below the mounting flanges and the exhaust custom made from there, back to the can. It will be a tight fit, but have someone lined up for the challenge. The subframe, will be solid on the right side, and bolted in on the left to allow the motor to be removed from the frame for any maintenance.



Below, you can see it will be very tight fit for any kind of airbox... still working the details out on that part. But will find a way. Anyone do any custom aluminium sheet metal work, that wants to hook me up?



As it sits now...



Still need to find someone to make a radiator for me and I need someone who can lengthen these oil cooler lines about 3 or 4 inches... Anyone?

That thing is gonna be a beast Doug! Remind me to be nowheres near you when you wack open the throttle at the drags. On second thought, you probobly won't have to. I'll be able to hear it from a mile away! Looks very good man. That's alot more project than I could ever hope to finish. Kudos on the work so far.

For the oil lines why not just cut the ends off, throw the middle piece away, and hose clamp on some braded line.

Hell of a job!!
Interesting thread.

Greg Hall on the ASA board is the Ayatolla of Radiators and quads and more,,

This thing is going to scream! Its gonna be so cool, I cant wait until you finish it

Just a thought, think you might need a bigger tank, mucho bigger tank to keep the beast roaring.

Crash, you better have one helluva swingarm on that thing or it's going to ride you like a biatch...

Looks kick ass, but why do yo uneed an air box? Get some K&N clamp ons..

RoostKing...

Did you ever decide on how long of an extended swing-arm you are going to use?

And if I were you I’d use +2 a-arms with zero preload shocks up front. It won’t be much but it will help a little in keeping the front tires in contract with the ground while accelerating when dunning.

Looks like you have ten times the amount of work in the jig as you do the bike.

Just kidding CRASH, bike looks good so far. My main concern is that airbox. Have somebody good build one right. You'll be glad you did. Try Jeff Davis Fabrication, he's down near you guys I think.

Did the engine originally come with carbs? I got a 02 750 gsxr engine that I want to play with, but was wondering if I could get rid of all the wiring and fuel injection and just go with a simple carb set up. Nice bike, engine looks clean and bad @ss.

I like it

Thats going to be sick ...

Sweet machine Crash...alot of nice touches too. Kudos on the factory look
Monster Garage eat your heart out

My son has a Banshee with a Turboed 900cc Honda road bike motor. We went with the turbo to eliminate the 4-carbs and all those exh. pipes.
He has a real long swing arm and it dunes like a champ. The motor made 168HP.
I will post some pictures, took some New Years at Olds but they didn't come out
as good as I wanted.
LATER DON~~~

Don, when are you/son going to be back out? Would really love to see this thing and talk over a few with you guys about it.

Here you go Jason

Yeah right.. I want o see it you MOOFER. ITs cool though, you can still ride my quad.....

Screw you Shark Bait...

No night rides for me unless it's on this thing.
Better get my ass in gear.

Anyone have a subframe for a '02 or '03 Raptor for sale?

That thing isn't finished yet?

Looks awsome. I can't wait to see you smoke some unsuspecting banshee.

I'd have to be pretty wasted to not take note of a gixxer at the desert...and stay the hell away! Love the project Crash, it's going to be a duning monster, not just a dragster eh? Nice...

It'll dune Im sure - Problem is with your body hanging on the bars like a flag to a flag pole on a windy day, Hows he gonna stop the effin thing..

Once its together - I give him 6 weeks to live..

Anything new?

porboy are you taunting him? Keep up the good work.

You effers!

I really want to see this thing happen. Mainly so I can ask to ride it.
I think it is a great idea. Did you ever find someone to make your oil hoses?

Not exactly, but did get some good leads from some of the guys on my post in Sandrail Tech.

Going to put some serious effort into it now that the summer is here and besides, I already said, I am NOT going to Glamis for any night rides unless it is on my quad... and I really want to go on some more night rides this summer, alot of fun there.....

thats what you said LAST summer

any update?

Some Links to look at for parts and ideas

http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/categories.asp?catid=2486
http://peterdmotorsports.com/

either one or both of the above sites has a bolt on plate that will adapt the oil out and in to a -an style fittings.

I would also get the Koenig oil pan. The kit comes with an oil pickup that is on a pivot so that it follows the oil flow as you go up and down the dunes.

C'mon mofo...a year and a friggin' half and nothing?

Notice the date he posted this?

crash needs to get on the ball..

looks slow.


that should speed things up.

I was thinking maybe you could run 2 radiators instead of having a $$$ custom one made. One in the stock location under the plastic and one right behind the steering shaft in front of the header(just like on a stock GSXR) on the frame rail that runs down. A VFR750-800 & VTR1000 has two radiator(one on each side of the bike, or if it would fit 01-06 RVT1000(RC51) it has inceased cooling compared to a VTR/VFR of about a pint.
They usually can be found on ebay or salvage shops in pairs with hoses. probably would make a clean install, without the $$$$$.
Just my .02

Pm me if you need any help.

wow, looks like a sweet project, if it ever gets done

More pics please?

I think the quad is going to be as slow as he is getting this thing done.

Its so slow, its got to speed up to stop.

well if the quad isnt done....hows the driveway look? get that taken care of?

Heres a little inspiration of a hack job

When you get down to the wiring of it send me a PM, there are some resistors that need to be put in the harness to get it to fire and run.

do you have any more recent ones?

Still no response from Crash huh?

It was at Hidden beaches.
