Default Gsxr1000 Motor
I have a 2005 GSXR1000 motor sitting in my garage right now with no where to go. What suggestion do you guys have that I should do with it? Fabricate it into a sick Golf cart, a crazy sand rail or something else ridiculous?

Put it in an atv. It can be made to fit with a little chop/cut/rebuild action, and I promise that you'll have hand down the fastest atv around.

It might be a good upgrade for your LT1. Then maybe you'll hang with our LS1's.

I still vote for putting it in an ATV. I had a gixxer motor in a LT500 frame a while back.


Fast, didn't even start to describe it.

Essentially what I had. Built 1100 gixxer motor (from an early 90's one, but still) in a quadracer 500 chassis.

2 inch extended swingarm and 2 inch offset front control arms to set the wheelbase a little longer, and it still stood up on command, and when you didn't really want it to.

Had to put beadlock wheels on the thing to stop teh tires from expanding to the point that they came off the bead.

Got clocked by a local cop going 124 across a cornfield, and still had 2 gears left if there was enough room.

Fast, to say the least.
