K7 GSXR-750 - US Spec?

[Rich_AR]

Friend of mine just picked up a brand new GSXR-750 K7 today, first thing I spotted was its a US spec one (reflectors on the forks give it away)

But what else is different from the UK spec ones?

Temp maybe cent. instead of f.h(or vice versa-cant remember which way round it is!)- Californian state imports have emmisions gubbins on them and are down on power, all other states will be as per UK spec apart from the odd sticker and the yank preachy style "ride safe" owners handbook.

Contrary to (some)popular belief there isnt a UK only production line and "the rest of the world" line, same factory,bike,materials etc etc...

The rear reflectors unscrew off the mudgaurd easy enough (or replaced entirely when the inevitable tail tidy goes on) and the front ones can un-screwed and replaced with the bolts from the UK model - order direct from RobinsonsFoundry on 01227-454366.I did this with mine as I particulary loathed the front reflectors.
