Hey gang. Long time lurker, first time poster. I came across a wrecked, but VERY low mileage 2015 R3 that was stinking up someone’s backyard in Queens, September last year. Given that it had no title and was essentially left for dead, I decided to make an offer and start building a track bike. Low and behold, offer was accepted!
Then this COVID thing happened. Having nothing but time on my hands, I thought I would share where I was at now, and try to share regularly as the build comes together moving forward. Attaching some pictures… but hopefully adding more as the days go on.
I’m coming from having raced for 3 years in the vintage scene, specifically coming off of a ground up rebuild of a stock 1969 CB350 production bike. I applied for (and was accepted to) a transfer license from AHRMA to CCS / ASRA this year, my home track being NJMP. So please forgive me if I might be a luddite at certain points in this thread. Modern bikes are pretty new to me…
In any case, since I picked this thing up for under a grand, I’ve started to invest a grip of coins into some of the bits that I’ll need to make this thing competitive in SuperStock/SuperSport. MOST of the research I have done has either come directly from vendors, or from various articles and threads on this forum. So, to the entire community, I’d like to broadcast a heartfelt THANK YOU!
A list of bits that have been purchased (and in some cases installed already) for this build include:
Here come the pics… haven’t gotten organized enough yet on progress pics but this is the turd I started with:
