Default ezgo marathon 07gsxr 750 project

Fixing to start this project. I've got the engine an all the wiring to have it running,only took a shop vac muffler an a paint can for the gas tank ....an behold it fired up on the garage floor!! I have already fab in an big red 250 which did awesome, other then it getting hot .I'm pulling that out an wanting to go with full independent suspension. I was thinking of a center shaft with maybe honda civic cv's an spindles??? Any input would be great . Also I'm not sure how to post pics

So here's what I'm thinking
front independent suspension
back independent suspension
gsxr 600
I would like to fab my own a-arms an steering ,still keeping the stock steering box. Not to hard but as for the back im gonna make my own carrier, I want to use a 1" shaft ,two side carrier bearings ,the sprocket an break rotor, then cut an weld the cv plates from a small car so I can use their cv joints ,hubs an spindles. An of course make my rear sub frame an a-arms. Any thoughts yall??? Oh an anyone know how much those engines can tilt either forward or backwards??

Are you planning on using the rear fender body panels as part of the structural support for your subframe?

Oooooh no!!! Lol I went ahead an hole sawed up high to give it alil different look. I welded the front two b9ttom sub frame bars in the original swing arm brackets an want to sleeve the top rear bumper bars so I can remove the sub frame just incase my driving skills aren't what I thought they should be. Although I did hit the salvage yards today for some hubs, spindles, an cv joints ....but I couldn't find the ones I want. Any ideas???

Where do you plan on putting your radiator? Leaving it there and adding a fan behind your calves?

Looks great so far, I'm picking up a marathon tonight and plan on doing something similar so I'll be watching your progress for sure!

keep those pics a coming!!!
