Gs 750 e with a twist (oil cooled 1200)

[busaash]

I am on a few forums , I am a suzuki man through and through had lots over the years,

I have wanted a gs 1000e , but here in the uk they are getting harder to find , as we have poor weather, lots of rusty bikes and petrol tanks are getting very very expensive .

So one day searching google images I found a gs 750 with bandit 1200 engine and gs1000e headlight fairing, uuuummmmm a plan was hatched

So thats the idea I will up date pics when on my pc .

I have been sourcing parts with ebay and paypal , so I hope I can do the idea justice

Looking forward to see the end results, should be a good concept

these where made by sand casting and quite rare ,


aprilia radial forks with ducati 848 evo radial calipers

 

[busaash]

the forks required the caliper mounts shortening by 5mm

thanks for encouragment i shall post more pictures and hopefully more words later

i had sourced a set of header pipes and link pipe from a forum member , it is a sought after full stainless 4-2-1 micron that is no longer in production , these allow the engine to retain its low and midrange power , rather than just allow top end performance ,

managed to collect a gsx1400 swingarm for cheap money with a chain slider too

 

[busaash]

the frame needs a bit of a tweek as these swingarms a very wide but i should save on not having to mono shock the frame as that was the first idea

 

[busaash]

bought some piggy back shocks brand new from a link on a uk forum , very well made and a few guys on the forum have been using these for years .

 

[busaash]

also ordered a big ticket item ....

 

[busaash]

could you tell what was in the box ? no not a crated up big block motor ..........................

1200 bandit engine 15,000 miles

i like to re use parts that i have in my garage , i had this copy rd350 headlight complete with the shell(bucket) so i like the modern headlight on the gsx1400


so i found one on ebay with no shell(bucket)



half an hour later
