  1. Cheers Wraith. few tweaks scince this was taken though. Better carbs, and finally replaced the extra long front brake lines that were way too long and looked shite...Currently gathering bits for a new build engine/project. Is there still a for sale/wanted section on the site? Cheers, T.
  2. The whole front end is b12. The stem length needed shortening by 2.5cm if I remember correctly as was longer than the GSX stem. The stem pops out of the yokes nicely with a press. They work quite well, haven't had any quarms with them. They were very stiff when first fitted them but removal of some of the fork oil helped. Might want to mess with spring rates but I didn't bother. They are shorter than the stock ET ones though so make the bike sit a little lower even with the top of fork legs flush with the top yoke but if you wanted you could add extensions.
  3. Yes, Yoshi it is. Got an RF900 swinger in it with bandit wheel too.
  4. Finally dug the ET out again this week as has sadly had little use recently. There's been nothing wrong with it, always good to go just me being slack really which is very shameful. However, I'm in love again and can't stop riding it, any excuse to go for a blat. Was rooting though my GSX spares and decided it might be time to build another one...Watch this space

    GSX 750F

    Yo! Recently purchased a GSX 750F of 2000 Birth from my manager at work for the princely sum of 100 queen sheets. Bike had been laid up for four years in an alley way and was covered in moss/algae. Done the usual service etc and got it running and passed its MOT with no issues. Had a blat to the coast which was the first, long ride I had taken it for (the most distance covered was three miles to MOT station). What an ugly pile of gutless poo. Not impressed at all, what was Suzuki thinking? Fair enough its smooth, and the handling is pretty good, effortless to ride and can chuck it about pretty well. This thing just lacks any grunt. Its the most uncomfortable riding position-neither here or there and my arse was completely pummeled by the end of the day, my shoulders and neck were mullered too and I have built and ridden bikes with just a steel plate for a seat without experiencing anything like this. Anyone have much experience with these? No disrespect to those that like em', It's just clearly not my thing. Am I missing something here? Rant over
  6. Went for a Blat today for the first time since September. Been driving around in a slow crappy van for months. Forgot how well these old brutes fly. Ive fallen in love again
  7. Yo! That be mine. Will upload a full pic shortly...
