modifying 2008 gsxr 1000

[bschwerke]

looking to modify my bike but trying to keep cost low just want to get best bang for the buck its gonna be for dragracing but also street riding

Get it low, stretching it is your choice, longer is easier to go faster but not necessary. Gear it and map it, maybe an air shifter, again easier to go faster. And hit the strip!

And as much weight on the front axle as possible without making it unstable will help as well... forward thinking (in relation to mass)

I'm not gonna give u advoce how to set it up cuz I don't have a fast nor a drag bike.

Move weight forward....not sure what parts you can move to the nose tho (battery, etc)

gonna slam it for sure but what gearing maybe 1 down in front and 1 maybe 2 in back what is a good choice

[nitrouschris]

Gearing is gonna depend on if you stretch it or not. If you leave it short, just goin up like 2 in the back will be about all you can keep from being too wheelie happy. And your only gonna pull 4 gears in the 1/4, you might tickle 5th but not likely due to how long your gonna pull first gear out. If you go long with it, you could go stock or down 1 up front, and up 4 or 5 in the back to gear it to run all 6 gears. you will leave A LOT harder with it long and use 2 gears in the time you would use 1 with it short.
Weight up front helps but you have to get creative unless you go FULL BUILD on it and relocate stuff. you could lead the axle, steering stem and get as much as 10lbs of wheel weights inside the front fender
