Schnitzels Shallow 250 Leemar

Tank is looking awesome. Nice GSXR as well

Thanks. Just bought it. It's an 07 750. I bought the same bike brand new back in 07, but sold it before I bought my house.

Dual bulkheads. Paid $101.95 and did local pickup in Compton CA. It was from plasticmart.com
 
Beautiful build!

Tried to move my old shed this morning and the darn thing fell apart. Decided to pickup a Rubbermaid 7'x7' (my old one was 8'x6').

Such a boring build thread so far. Hopefully stand will be here tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
 
That looks terrific, totally worth the wait on the stand/tank/sump. I like the lighting idea too.

Very glad that you re-oriented the braces on the stand, much more room without sacrificing any strength. The external space for your mixing station will be sweet. If you ever needed one, you could even toss a chiller out there. Very cool!

Dig the gsxr750, a very well balanced bike. Riding a 2nd gen Tuono at the moment, love it.

Wondering why did 2 MP's and 1 WP? Why not 3 or 4 WPs? I am running two on my apex and they are impressive. I am sure that the MP60s are a sight though!

I think that you will be glad about that return pump, the jebao dc pump is decent but for a build like yours I think it deserves the big boy.

Any plans for an sps QT since bitten by the AEFW once? I don't learn and had AEFW once on the old system, but still don't QT, just trim bases and dip. I need to start qt'ing...

awesome build, definitely following along
 
Unfortunately the stain turned out HORRIBLE. I'm gonna have another guy come and re stain the stand. It's a bummer, but that's what happens when u try to save a few pennies. I should have just paid a few hundred bucks more and had it done right. Live and learn right???

It's supposed to be espresso. It's not even close.

This is obviously permanent until my 250 is up and running

He's also going around patching all the holes that the guy didn't fill
