New rim and clip ons came in, the speedometer is placed about where I want it, new brake light switch is on too, but the damage to the brake mount may be too much to repair and I might need another one. I need to pull the front end back apart and check the front brake discs to see if they are bent, slap them on the new rim, and get a tire mounted on it.
So what’s left?
fix or replace brake cylinder/lever (currently won’t activate the brake switch)
buy and install n ew lighting and signal switches (left handlebar switches)
mount grips
install bar end weights
fabricate, paint, and i ns tall speedometer mount
install f ront rim
buy and install new front brake rotors (maybe)
attempt to un-dent the tank with fire and ice
repaint tank after melting paint attempting to un-dent tank
buy and install headlight
buy, modify, paint, and install front fender
Buy and install new clutch and brake levers (maybe)
modify and reroute front wiring
buy and install coolant overflow bottle
buy and install horn
buy and install some sort of mirrors
install that fuel line clip I forgot on the high-pressure line
torque down all bolts
finalize handlebar and control positions
I’ve been riding the yellow gsxr in all week as my roommate is on vacation for the next week and change, saves me $150 in tolls a week plus gas, less time spent in traffic, and a free bike wash when I got caught out in a severe thunderstorm.
The gsxr is a tad bit... aggressive as a commuter, I can’t put a lot of pressure on the tank with my knees as I am still working on recovery with a torn hip adductor, and the body positioning puts a lot of stress on my wrists, which either got sprained or broken in the accident, so that’s nice.
As an awesome aside, NASA has been pretty awesome, well since forever, but lately they have been on point. You can have your name put on the next Mars rover here:

I really want to find someone to print these on an actual boarding pass now.
