Building a GSX1100ET for flying mile and a bit of drag racing
Over in the Uk recently was a programme called Speed Dreams in two one hour episodes. Basically it was about 6 British bike builders who built bikes to do the land speed records meeting at Bonneville in Utah.
Well as an ex drag racer, it gave me a bit of a nostalgia twinge and I contacted PJ, featured in the doco riding a GSX1100. He is organising a meet at Pendine Sands in South Wales( not the New one) and I thought, I'll help with the organising and go and watch. Then I thought, why not build a bike?
I posted an interest on Brit Chopper Forum and on various Facebook pages. A new friend called Tony Cosmo Calliandro said he had some GSX chassis parts and for a modest fee I could have them.
I was straight up there, only 20 miles and we filled up my Passat. Here's the stuff on my drive.

Think I will go with the ET/ESD frame instead of the EFE frames. Threw a few parts on it for a laugh;
