    Two Become One...





    Giablo needs a Cafe.
    So, I am going to morph a 1987 GSXR1100 and a 1981 GS1100E.
    Let the fun begin...

              Wow, quite the task.
              Gotta wonder though, will the old steel frame handle the "go" of the 87?
              I really dont know, I'm asking.

                      What a great project! Can't wait to see the conversion. Good luck with it. I always wanted to convert my ZRX1200R 1200 motor with a ZX14 1400 motor, but never could find a ZX14 motor.

                          Did you plan any frame bracing, or just go for it?
