Worked as standard with the 750 motor.

Just to confirm, it’s also the short 750 swing arm only fitted on the 750F first model (the G model onwards had a slightly increased wheelbase with a longer swing arm). Also if I remember correctly, it’s had the rear wheel adjusters bored slightly larger to accept the G model onwards rear wheel spindle

There’s a good chance it was like that when I had it Gary, all the mounts had been made by the previous owner and I never removed the engine or properly checked alignment. I’m sure you’ll sort her out, it’s coming along really nicely

Nice one guy have you got a link to it please mate

Cheers Eddie....yes hope to see you at some point, I'll be using the bike for a bit of commuting too, now it's more comfortable

Finally found 5 minutes spare and a little bit of sunshine to take the Martin for it's mot. Got an advisory for the chain being a bit slack but passed nicely with it's new indicators and the comfortable seat is great lol

A big thank you to @Katanawho very kindly did me a deal for his eagle exhaust which fits the Martin almost like it was made for it I've also started making a proper seat as I'm hoping to use the bike more regularly on the road this year.....I haven't got any decent cover materials at the moment so I've just used an old seat cover to get an idea of how the shape will look, I used the foam from a zxr750 front seat.

Dunno dez, it was on the bike when I got it.....possibly aftermarket? the slot in it looks quite similar to the ones in the gear lever.....

thought i'd share this short video I made for a virtual bike show, hope you like it

Les Hill from Warrington is very good too Dan, mobile motorcycle mechanic.

put me down too if poss @Paulm choice of peds, could bring two i think with a squeeze......Martin, EZ or nearly complete GS1000. will everyone be stopping at the premier inn across the road?

cool, thanks for that +20mm over standard free length

@wrx03ppp what was the free length of the rear shocks that you finished with please?

Those are the type I have too...don't suppose you can remember what spec engine and carbs you had them with?

So it turns out i only did a 'man' look.......further searching and here is the info below, might be useful to others.......

Does anyone have a spec sheet for Andrews cams made for the GS1000 please? Searched everywhere but struggling for info on them

very interesting Yann, and yes, I would love to come to France for some training one day if you need any photos of my engine installation for reference just let me know, look forward to seeing your roller

Thought I would try a GPS speedo from Hong Kong....it is not a perfect fit but close enough for me and works a treat....

Hi Yann......it feels like the upgrades are going in the right direction. I had some advice from Yoshi Jonny and Rob Bean - dropped the forks through the yokes by 10mm which has helped to give better feel and use from the front tyre. Balance, stability and clearance are all good, I just need to back off the rear shock pre-load as it is a little too hard at present. The main limiting factor is my ability on the bike, I need a better rider to try it now and push the bike further.....all applicants welcome

Cadwell Park Classic Suzuki track day, me trying to hold on to a far more capable machine lol

This is the one I have fitted, it has a 10mm hole in the end of it...
