How low can you go? Burt Jones's 1999 GSX-R750 epitomizes the whole stretched-and-slammed aesthetic, and whatever it might give up in terms of monster motor compared with its Hayabusa brethren, it more than makes up for with its gangster style.
Long and low, the bike's stock frame has been chromed and turned out with an Adams three-to-nine-inch-adjustable swingarm hanging off the back end. Rolling stock is factory-chromed Suzuki, and the factory rear brake and rear sprocket have been chromed to match. At the other end, the lowered fork has received the same treatment, as well as the stock front wheel, and Jones stripped the righthand caliper and rotor to provide a better view of the wheel. The bodywork on the bike is also stock, but covered with a TWC-applied custom paint job combining candy purple on the upper half with marbled silver checkerboard accents under the tailpiece and on the lower fairing. The show-quality paintwork, like the rest of the bike, is highlighted by ever more chrome, in this case metalized decals.

The GSX-R also has chrome upper fairing mounts, along with the triple tree, levers and fairing ducts. Also, check out the chrome front-fairing inner panel, another nice touch. The only performance mod to date has been the addition of a Vance & Hines Sidewinder pipe, but knowing these guys, this tasteful GSX-R750 is far from finished.
