IM UNSURE WHAT KIND OF SEAT UNIT TO HUNT DOWN FOR, FOR MY 1988 7/11 SLINGSHOT. IM DEFINATLEY THINKING OF A PROPER RACE BIKE SEAT POD, FROM A LATE MODEL GSXR600 OR AN EARLY MODEL R1. I LIKE THE POINTY LOOK OF THESE 2 STYLES. WHAT WOULD "YOU" USE FOR YOUR FIGHTER PROJECT ? OR WHAT IDEAS HAVE YOU GOT ? WHAT STYLE DO YOU RECON WOULD LOOK BEST ON A NAKED SLINGSHOT ? DONT BE SHY, I WANT TO HEAR YOUR REPLY :D

HI THERE. THINGS CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN QUIET ROUND THESE PAGES LATELY. SPECIALY SINCE STU LEFT THE COUNTRY. IM GLAD YOU AGREE WITH ME ON THE GSXR600 SEAT ASWELL. THEYRE AVAILABLE IN A FULL RACE UNIT TOO, WHICH MAKES IT EASIER TO FIT. IF USING ANY ROAD SEAT UNITS THERES ALOT OF OPEN AREAS THAT WOULD NEED GLASSING IN, WHERE THE PILLION PAD SITS, AS WELL AS WHERE THE TAIL LIGHTS SIT. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE 1098 0R M.V. SEAT PODS LOOK LIKE TO BE HONEST, BUT WILL SCOUT THROUGH SOME AMCNs TO FIND OUT. THE E.F. REAR LOOKS GREAT ON AN EF, OR ON AN "A" STREET BIKE, BUT NOT ON A NAKED GSXR FIGHTER BWIAN. ARE THERE ANY GOOD PICS YOU CAN LINK ME TOO, ON SOME GOOD FIGHTER SEATS ?

Bwian. Your not the big tall bloke down the road from my brother that used to drag a purple EF are you ? I guess you know Stu and Chappy as well as others. Im sure weve met around the traps some time. But not at any of Alfiestorms partys ?
Thanks for everyones imput. Im leaving it in Steves hands (racecomp) for now. Im sure hes got just what Im after among his selection.
Thanks,
Whitey

Whitey, your onto it! :)
but mine isnt / hasnt been purple, the only purple EF i know of is Steve Freemans "NO BAR" bike, and fuck me its faaaast!! (low 7's over the quarter!!)
Yer, i know Stu, in fact he used to live here with me for a while when he came back down from the riverland.
Effie hasnt been on the road much in the past 2 years, ive had a big holiday from Drag Racing and Bikes in general, nowadays the fire is burning again!
Early next year Effie will be back, leaner and meaner than ever!
Heres a pic of what she last looked like.

As for Alife, i dont think i know him, i would need to see his face, (for some reason people remember me...must be my bad breath ;)) i assume Steve from Race Comp realises who i am (Gday Steve :)) and i also know the fella who nowadays has an old buddies old EF...(EFE1230).

I THAUGHT YOU WERE SOMEONE ELSE. IVE NEVER SEEN YOUR BIKE BEFORE. I DID ACTUALLY THINK YOU WERE STEVE FREEMAN. COZ HES A BIG TALL GUY. ANYWAY, IM SURE WE WOULD HAVE CROSSED PATHS BEFORE NOW. I'LL KNOW YOU WHEN I SEE YOU, EY ! THE EFE1230 YOUR REFERING TO WAS LEE MUNROS OLD BIKE WASNT IT ? HE WAS A CAFE RACER CLUB MEMBER YEARS AGO (IN THE 80s) WHEN I WAS IN THE CLUB. HAVENT SEEN LEE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. YOUR EF LOOKS SWEET MATE. SHAME WE HAVENT GOT A DRAG STRIP TO PLAY ON ANY MORE. AND THE COPPERS WANDER WHY PEOPLE HOON AROUND ON THE STREETS, WHEN THERES NO WHERE TO GO AND LET OFF SOME STEAM. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP FUND A NEW DRAG STRIP AND FORGET ABOUT BOB JANE AND HIS SILLY GAMES. I BELIEVE ANOTHER STATE HAS A GOVERNMENT FUNDED OR OWNED DRAG STRIP. BUT THATS ANOTHER TOPIC ALL TOGETHER. I'LL GET OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW. BY THE WAY....ALFIESTORM WAS A GREAT BLOKE WHO CAME FROM ENGLAND AND GOT EVERYONE FROM ASF S.A. TOGETHER FOR PARTYS AND RUNS. HES A TOP BLOKE AND DEDICATED TO STREETFIGHTERS WEBSITE. HE HAD TO LEAVE TO GO BACK TO ENGLAND AGAIN UNFORTUNATLEY. HES A WHIZ WITH GIXXERS ! HAS A SWEET HOTTIE 1100 SLINGSHOT.
CHEERS, WHITEY

Yer, Lee Munro did once own the bike in question, the chap who built her and owned her originally is someone else again.
As for Drag Racing....there are rumours floating around of land being aquired down Adelaide Speedboat Club way, aswell as this, i have seen the pics of AIR being re-surfaced, maybe the owner of AIR is responding to the rumours???
Anyways.....ill believe it when it happens and the gates open for business.
But your rite......this state needs somewhere for rev heads to go!!

I BAUGHT STUs OLD EF OFF HIM YEARS BACK. ITS GOT SAM's OLD "A" STREE BIKES BLUE AND WHITE BODY WORK ON IT, BUT IS A STOCKIE MOTOR. I PUT A 4.5" REAR WHEEL INTO IT AND MADE A FEW CHANGES WHEN DOING IT ALL UP. I ACTUALLY WENT TO THE RIVERLAND TO BUY AN EF CYLINDER HEAD OFF HIM, BECAUSE HE ANSWERED AN ADD I RAN IN THE TRADER LOOKING FOR GSX1100 BITS A FEW YAERS BACK. I ENDED UP BUYING THE HEAD, THE EF ITSELF AND A GSX1100ET ROLLER (WHICH IS NOW MY RACE BIKE). IF I KNEW HOW TO UP LOAD PICS, ID PUT A PICTURE OF MY KATANA, EF AND RACE BIKE HERE. SEND ME A P.M. WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON IT AND I'LL SEND YOU A PHOTO. MY KATANA IS HEAVILY MODIFIED AND TOOK ME YEARS TO BUILD.
