    I'm trying to get this ready for a trip to Portimao in early October, but it may have to wait until Jerez in early December for it's debut.

    To get it built in time I'm going to fit the Mistral built ex sidecar  1216cc motor I have on the shelf for this year, and build the 1052 based motor for next year.

    I have just about everything on the shelf to build this up now, though some parts are still in sheet and tube form.  

    The one stumbling block is the forks. I have a set of gsxr 750 j forks and yokes. The yokes are ok for now, I'll press in the Harris stem, and shave the castings down. once I'm happy I know what offset I want, I can decide if I want a pukka set of Harris yokes.

    The fork legs them selves though need £1000-1200 throwing at them to get them to the spec that's worth having. I can't afford that currently.   I'm hoping for a tour round Classic team Suzuki workshops wearing a coat with very long pockets.

     

    LOl, & I actually did lough out loud.

    Looks like a nice bike - is there a build thread? Amongst other things am I spotting ISR brakes, Marvic wheels and a Harris F1 seat?

    Well spotted, too long ago for a build thread pre digital era. As it had not been running since 2012 getting it sorted for Donington has fired me up to do some fettling & tidy up a few things.

    Qualified on pole. 

    Had a look at the bike back in the pits. The cam chain tensioner cap and spring have gone AWOL, the front right engine mount was loose, front sprocket nut only held in place by the cover and one of the clip-ons was loose. 

    All good! 

    Here we go. 

     

    I think you`ve had your share of mishaps for today, all clean sailing from now on.
