    I'm in the process of making a few products for the suzuki gsxr1000 09 to present year.
    I need to borrow a bike (to disassemble and reassemble) for a short period of time (very soon) Reassembly will be as per manual specs, torques, etc (as new condition). Or just provide big parts only - engine, throttle bodies, airbox, tank, chassis. One or many loaners are ok with me. All parts needed are new or never bent. Just want it be known what type of wrenching will take place on loaned parts.
    I can offer anyone who helps some sort of rider support for as long as they race, ride, work on bikes, etc.
    I'm in mi (near grand rapids) - I will drive 5 hrs to pick up (one way) if needed
    Thanks in advance

    I did not mention I will not disassemble the engine. I just need it for overall size, etc.

    You guys don't have an 'in' with any dealers nearby?

    My brother (and brother-in-law) do similar R&D work on snowmobiles and pick-ups they have often worked through dealers to use their machine for a few weeks - as long as your not putting miles and wear and tear on the equipment, they are pretty willing to lend assistance.

    Worth a try - good luck on your project and development.

    Bueler, bueler
    Don't need anything for long. Just around this weekend thru until Monday night. I need by early am monday at latest. Very fast turnaround on what I'm doing.
    No inside track, or special dealer helping on this one. (yet)
    Fantastic exposure for anyone looking for it - once this project gets underway.
