Not bored everyone to tears with this as it's been a few years in the making.. Started life as a bare GSXR750F frame and a Cycle World magazine article from 1988 The original bike was nicknamed "The Big Gun" I wanted to build something that looked the same and went OK.. Lots of mods ...subtle stuff really..raked yokes should help with wobbles (they did at the Manx GP), Dymags instead of PFM wheels...brembos...Metmachex...braced frame....1127 motor with proper spring clutch...VM33 flatties..(budget lol) Maxton forks and shock....modified bodywork etc etc

FBOAB....it aint pretty close up, rattle can paint etc as it was always gonna be a track bike rather than a show pony. Track will be fine I am sure...gonna stick the trade plate on from work and just have a quick go down the bypass at some point...Anglesey isn't a race so it can be messed around with and even parked up..not overly concerned..it runs so it SHOULD be up to pulling me around lol
