    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I never heard about this bike before.
Was looking up the Dunstall Norton 810, when I read that Paul Dunstall moved on to tuning Japanese bikes during the mid 70s.

 
I think from memory Sheene only rode it once. I've seen it advertised for sale several times over the years and the full history is pretty well known.
Dunstall got into offering cosmetic kits for the 550, 750 and 1000. Pipes too. The race bike was I think a way of getting publicity for the road bike kits.
Certainly there was no Dunstall backed racing of Suzukis in the way he raced Nortons.

I quite like the GS1000CS ... clocked at 153mph by Motor Cycle News who went from not believing the specs to astonished.
Listed by Heron Suzuki GB.
