Gavin
Davidson's Speed Triple +1
This
bike was the one of siamese twins with Mr.7/11's '86 Jap. spec.
GSX-R750G. Like most bikes that had a long and miserable life the
bolt-ons appeared everywhere like mushrooms on on old tree.
We've got a Fox shock, pink Renthal bar, big headlamp with blue
anodized clamps after removing the fairing, a Motad Nexxus 4-2-1
stainless exhaust system and a Sigma Sport BC800 which he bought
when on vacation in Holland.
After
visiting the 7/11 Boulevard and seeing Pat
Chin's GSX-R750 with 17" wheels Gavin started investigating
the possibilities of doing the same himself. Two years (!) later
he stumbled across the remains of a GSX-R750Ltd (the race rep with
dry clutch) but couldn't get the deal closed.
At the end of last century he got his hands on a silver GSX-R1100K
rear wheel and the front-end of a GSX-R400. Now it looks even more
like a Triump Speed Triple.
Next
on the list is a Cagiva Mito seat unit, which compares to a mini-916
seat unit and by then it will need a new coat of paint to get rid
of the diversity in colours. Probably "Speed
Triple Yellow".

Mirror,
mirror on the wall... who has the pinkest Renthal of 'em all?

It
sleeps below a bridge... so this must be a "ratbike" then?
