Kamikaze

its alot more work than just cleaning it with chemicals but im gonna give it a go.

Ive also thought about tarting up the frame but im just gonna buy a flap or scotch wheel and stick it on a grinder and see what happens.

Welcome to OSS....nice project build, i think this is the second Martek Pike peak bike build we have had., but i might be mistaken. looking forward to seeing this progress. Have you got a design plan for it..?

Hes not wrong

Dam thats a sexy frame thou., luv the brushed look. I think polished frames have had their day.

Have you tried Donovan from ACC in Sth Africa, his parts are quality. I use his rearsets on my slingy, bout £200 i think from memory

Yeah thanks for the info Dezza, but i have a policy of not supporting the chinesium bike market of any other market from them for that matter. Id rather buy from Webike in Japan and pay the extra.

Thanks for info boys…

Righteo you smart ppl out there, Can anyone confirm if the Clutch arm spline and Gear shift spline on the GS1000 are the same as the Gen 1 and 2, GSXR750/1100 models. Looking at buying some from the USA but only listed for the GS1000 model. Cheers

Hahaha

Has anyone swapped a 750 slabbie arm for a slabbie 1100 arm.....from my understanding, all u need is the linkage and dogbones from the 1100 arm. Is it a straight swap..? Future project mind you, ive got enough on my plate atm, but over the years ive collected soo much crap i need to stick them on something. Ive got a mismatch of original and performance parts lying around and thought id slap it all together as a rolling chassis to see if i want to make something from it.

Spot on.....wat Weeman said. There a great unit for starting from scratch projects but otherwise u end up using just as much cable, the only difference is u eliminate fuse box and other small bits and can use thinner wire

Chris, I have a few friends waiting for parts to be made and they have even sent him parts to be replicated. Yet no response when they try calling or emailing. Now they just wants their parts back but still no response. Do you think thats professional way to run a company...? Im asking you cause u obviously are happy with his service. Im not doubting his workmanship or engineering skills, He has the most equipped private workshop in the country, but the common trend is unless u live within a stones throw of the place and drop in every week to check on ur order, nothing gets done. Im in Austria, my mates have orders from the Netherlands and France. Its easier to palm someone off wen they cant rock up to ur door in 5min and start asking questions. im not sure how close u live to Mark but i bet its a dam lot closer than me and my friends. Have u ever had anything produced overseas with the fear of paying for something and nothing turning up...? Well thats how we all feel on this side of the pond.

Wish i was there, heard there some great bikes out. I saw the results but waiting for the official report @KATANAMANGLER
