@Gammaboy This one is 92-93 (sc29) but i think you can take a 95 with no trouble.

Thanks for your feedback return. Great to hear that your feeling on the bike is good. And some advices are always interesting to take, even if target is a really personal mix. More track practice will help you to improve your style...Come on in France for training ! What you must know is the fact that this kind of frame is (IMHO...always) the best for a oilcooled engine. Cause GS engine compartment is tiny. In total opposition with second perimetric frame generation G.Martin made (1980). The second one is designed for GSX engine era...and is higher, larger, eavier to accept bigger 4valves head and finaly a oilcooled engine is installed like "lost in frame" with so much place around (for me...always ). So, i think yours is just perfect with a GsxR inside. Alloy tank is stuning too. Lot of MotoMartin didn't have one. On "standard bike", a fiberglass unit was majoritary installed in France during the period. Some country forbiden it totally and some race rules too...It was really expensive to have one at the time. You've understand that i'm pretty interested by your work. I've a rolling frame just waiting some attention. Mine is a late one from 1982. Frame n° SC.... (sc for SuzCantilever) KC is logicaly for Kawi then.

This type :

Very interested on how you feel on track with mods you done. Balance, stability,clearance...? Please.

Aftermarket dump killswitch. You cut when push "run"...

And because it's even better in vid. Thank to my friend Bub @lazonenoire !

And this is a pic during practice @circuitpaulricard . Bike goes well.

Changed for new airfilter too. Much better (on the paper...) Instaled a cover carbon protection...on my old cover.

In fact, last year i was in trouble with my ground clearance. Nothing appeared before...but it seems i was more confident with the bike and...my hability (!) After home return, i surprisingly noticed big scratchs on the right and left side. During all this past years i was running with a 4"5 wheel at the rear mounted with a 160 tyre. During last winter, i finaly instaled a 5"5 wheel. Changed the chain for a 525 instead 530 to give me just enough room for the chain alignement. Plan was to lift the rear gently. With the Marchesini rear wheel and a Continental 180/55 (not so wide) i lifted just what i want. I corrected this by slide the forktube to stay with the same geometry. For memory, the original bike was mounted with 18" wheels. A frame modification give me the opportunity to lift the seat too .I'm seating higher (5cms) and feeling is much better instaled on bike. So the challenge was to know if all the works i've done are matching or ... First pic, is during a rapid test on the coast.

Tradionnaly ...i'll be on the Paul Ricard racetrack in the south of France for what will be for sure ''great"! Pleased to meet some OSS members overthere ! Cheers.

Nope. Complet 98 GsxR 1300 fork with specific bearings for Slabby frame.

Yeah. GsxR 1300.

Brakes are much powerfull ! Even a little too harsh on the road.

This is how it look this time... But some cosmetic works are programmed.

Hi OSS Guys. Can someone inform me of the trick : What's the best way to connect bst34 carbs on a 1978 gs1000 cylinder head? Pretty sure i've read somewhere the fact that some inlet pipe brand are interchangeable... (kawy Z1000?) Thanks.

Thanks Duncan ! The real deal is how it's works on racetrack with all the mods . I'll test on the Paul Ricard at the beginning of May.

Hi to all. Hope Vizman will not be too disappointed......but i've done some improvments on the bike during winter. First at all : A new rear wheel. Not really new, in fact ... come from a crashed KTM Superduke. This combined with a sticky Continental CR gave me the opportunity to fit a 180 rear tyre. (Instead 160) with more perimeter this helped me to solve my clearance. I've already moved the front a little higher by sliding the tube in triple clamp. Seat's a bit higher too. New bracket hold all in place. New gaz trottle, air filters, fairing bracket, led light, 525 chain & sprocket and some more, helped me a good 4 kgs less.

Look great Duncan !

I feel happy on this pic...

and this one is a special dedicace @Captain Chaos !

@Mole28 Where did you find the lightweight rear disc ? Please...

Once upon time in the south of France...second attempt at track days with my friends from Club11R. Droved 1200kms car/trailer to be on the Paul Ricard race track last weekend of March...same for home return. Great event as usual. Lot of things & former riders (much to...to much!!!) not enought time, etc. Not specialy warm (10°c day / 2° night) Road tyres on the MotoMartin... But all was great !!!

I've find another one on the net ! Great remind/event !

Motor power, swingarm, fork, suspension... can surely alter the sense also.

Marchesini KTM Superduke wheels are an option. I'm running a complet rear unit on my slingshot (750 88) . Sleeved the 25mm to stand with the rear 20mm axle. Gs500 bracket caliper bored to 20mm works too. Don't have money for the front wheel...but programmed asap. Totally forget to weight the wheel... 320 disc...
