Last owner wasnt much heavier than me, so I guess he liked his "corners" ? Hero bolts gone, and he's into the pegs. He's also ground down the side stand and right hand engine mount. Will see if I can do the same, GAME ON! -
Still need to get it wired up as im using a temporary mains feed still, and then a heavy duty timber bench and a pillar drill, ...but im slowly getting there... -
They may have originaly had a H shift. Some car engined bikes did. One trick is the run a cable to a lever on the bars, or a solenoid wired up to a switch, that moves the shift LEFT to RIGHT. Foot moves gears backwards / forwards for 1st and 2nd, Lever or Solenoid knocks the lever across, then foot choses between 3rd and 4th. Sounds complicated but most car engined bikes have huge amounts of torque so they are less fussy about which gear they are in. -
...I should have added "Fiat 127"

P1 and P2 just called in for their evening slice of apple.... -
Well done Stue. Thats great. Not seen any of mine since Xmas 08 / New Year 09. I get to see them all next month ... -
Not a fan of tupperware, but a "double bubble" raised screen is a good choice for the Hayabusa. If I kept my weight forward when riding a little on the sporty side, I couldnt see the top half of the clocks with the stock screen, Several others have said the same thing. I put raised screens on both mine.... If I ever get a Gen2 it'll be one of the 1st mod's... -
Very similar to the engineless GSXR1100G I recently bought. Skinny 750 frames flex a bit more under load but are a lot lighter. Would take an early Bandit or GSXF motor too but would be fun to put something a little different in there. Seen them with 750 triple 2-strokes "H2" and a few others. -
If a womans involved.... Keep the bike, change the woman. -

NICE ! I was ecpecting it to be one of the horrid GS1000 shaft drives, but thats real nice. Never owned one, and not high on my list, but that would make a great Wes Cooley replica. Id go a little later and look for a ET, EX, or a Katana 1000 or 11 or even an 1135EF. Much nicer bikes but still "Old Skool Cool" -

Green Kwak's ? Oh well, whatever floats your boat... -

what did you do with your bike today ?
Tony nitrous replied to Grumpyowl's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
what did you do with your bike today ? Battery charger on Hayabusa, started it, air in the tyres, lubed the chain, thought "I really should use it more". Battery charger on Bandit 1200, started it, air in the tyres, lubed the chain, thought "I really should use it more". Looked at the GSX1100 and thought... "I really should... OH F@ck!, now I remember, that one caught fire!!"..... -
Hi Denise...

Not mine. Tooth brush, shorts and a hat... If im not home in a couple of days i'll go shopping! -
Lots of morning services, parades and marches. Its good to remember. My future farther-in-law is a Vietnam vet. All taken very seriously out here, unlike most Aussie hol's which are an excuse for a good BBQ and p#ss up ! I might be a Pommie but I still give thanks to the Aussie "Diggers"... I like the fact they made it a public holiday in their memmory. -
No work tomorrow. Public Holiday. ANZAC day. Similar to the UK's rememberence Sunday. We get a day off to remember those who gave their lives. http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/anzac-day

Not a fan of putting tupperware on naked bikes. Each to their own. -
I dont think i'll get mistaken for Dave.... -

I think the restriction is only a top end speed cap. If its unrestricted that'll make it a year 2000 model ? If they're anything like a lot of other bikes de-restricting a later one costs about 20p with a resister from Tandys. -

Well done.. I like them. I had one for sale recently, had a few plays on it. They go real well, made a few more ponys than a Busa but the Busa crept away top end, (but only at VERY silly speeds) Better brakes than a Gen1 Busa. Nice riding position too. Wasnt keen on the frame being the airbox but thats not a drama unless you like chopping and changing stuff, pod filters or turbo. This was the one I had...
