                    Hello all, thanks for the love!
                    FYI, I'm in "Adelaide, South Australia", I've owned this "GS" since about 1989, and she has had a few different guises.
                    She has always been my "Streeter", but has also lived on the Drag Strip for quite a few years, best ET: 9.20@150mph with my old 1327 in the Chassis.
                    I retired her from racing back in 2004 when the 1327 lunched itself down the 1/4 Mile, and turned her into what you see here.
                    There are a few more mods in the wind before I stop modifying her, these mods are mainly "Bolt on" mods such as BST Rims, Ohlins R&T Forks, and Billett Brembo Calipers, so watch this space, as the parts are arriving as of last week.
                    I will post some more pics for you too see.

                        So troopie, is that a fuel injected model, or just carbies? I'm pretty impressed with tuned length exhausts, and the amount of work that must of gone into this monster. Do you have any horsepower specs that you want to share, cheers.

                          No Dyno figures for you, but over 200 at the rear wheel.
                          1428 built by Trevor Birrel Racing, until his recent retirement from Drag Racing here in OZ, Trevor was/is the most winningest Pro Stock Bike Owner/Builder/Crew Chief over here.
                          So after a while you get a fair idea on what HP your building into a motor.
                          Trevor is now running a "Forgotten Era" Race Team here in OZ.
