Thanks guys lock down is helping get bits done , seat pad has been re done , seatunit and mudguard will be back this week so fingers crossed for a few better pictures of my progress weekend

Few set backs a few bits done , Dropped the oil threads came out with the drain plug , Took sump off and cleaned it to send out for repair think I will remove oil pick up bolt 2 snaps in the casings so now front end is off and cant lean bike over to be able to see the snapped bolt . Need to refit forks and wheel etc so I can sort this before I can move on Mudguard and seat collected by painter as he passes on way too work

Anymore fun had with this build?

Any more progress ..?

Looking good Clive

Does anyone have a suzuki gsx1100 efe suzuki manual

Rick message in coming

Lovely work Clive

well done beast mode enabled

excellent , like the idea of your bike built your way ... as you dont want a bike where people say ohhh that was so and so s bike

have painted bare metal with satin black as i dont want the bare metal go rusty in this shite uk weather

I had this idea a few years ago for my gs750 build and decided to use the bits on this build plenty of do s and donts but when you get the idea and find a spare tank complete with straps . Hell yeah so long discussions with mr metal magician kenty and boom done dusted ready for next evolution

240mm rear disc suzuki bandit 1200 fitment

Bit more sourced for this build , one off harris yokes, and gsxr 1100 slingy clocks hoping to get a new bracket fabricated so it fits to fairing mount

I have made two plates out of scrap aluminium 10mm plate as a temporary fix to get angles and ride height , these will be re done when paint gets sent away . Few pics to show the idea , from my phone as I am not with bike

Few pics hope this helps you ,on my other harris I did a modern swingarm and had a one off billet item made.

Chatted with painter hoping for a quick turn round as a single colour and only minimal prep as good solid parts

Will see what I can do with pics later

I did take jets and floats off too then do for an hour turning every 15 mins

Had few nights in garage tidying up again , few Small jobs done , spacers made and brackets fabbed , happy how the colours have turned out just hope the engine is a good one , as it's been in the frame for a long time before yj bought it . Old age expecting problems before I even get to starting motor .

All looking very nice Clive as always

Unknown from my end mate, just bought as a project from yoshi Johnny.

great project bow , looking forward to seeing this build progress

I don't want it to look brand new , the tank has small imperfections and that's fine as the tank and frame kit are from the early 90s

I am finishing the tank by hand with fine sanding block and going for brushed finish
