    What are you going to do to it?

      Jason - get it right there are English people on this forum. That's a GSX1000 engine in there! Our colonial cousins to the west never learned the alphabet properly so don't know what an X is.....

      I bet that's a first. The 1k engine is very rare here and sticking a 4 in a V twin frame is unusual

            Actually it's me that's most likely wrong with the engine. As the GSX1000 was so rare over here the chances are it was an import and came from a GS1000 Katana.

            I don't know if anyone produced a manual for the 1000 TSCC engine but Cliff has the 1100 manual here:



            (GS1100 80-83)

            Edit: CV carbs - I bet it's an import. Our race homologation bikes got big VMs. Plus take a look here for info and manuals:

                  Wow. That is some bike. As much as it is not my style, I kinda like it. Looks the the ultimate caricature of a motorcycle. I don't think I've ever seen USD forks so streched. My only complaint would be to loose the silly iron cross headlight its a bit much.

                  On a more serious note, any idea what those gauges are from? I love em. And kinda want them on my bike

                  Congrats on the new bike, it certainly is unique.
