dazz did i hear you want some spoked wheels these any good ?http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Suzuki-GS-GSX...QQcmdZViewItem
wow, thats looks excellent. mr zuki should consider doing a modern re-issue like ducati did with those paul smark retro bikes.
Have you seen the strosphere concept .. its basically a Kat 8)

Talk to "Jonesy" he`ll have the gearnot much b4 1980,G50 is very similar without the plateCruise thats why i went back in timeA really nice fighter with alloy frame is starting to look the norm[xx(]
dazz, it might be the pic thats decieving but it looks like your forks are a bit twisted and your rear rim has a nice dent in it. I hope im wrong.
should be a nice project
rear wheel is dented but has been that way for years without any dramas. Might send it to Silverwater to get fixed. Forks are straight though.
Jim, I am staying with the originals now. Going for the cheapest build I can for the best result.
Mundy, Spoke with Jonesy the other day, just need to make time to go and have a look at his stuff.He said you had been there the other day
like your build Dazz,
I did something similar to my GSX.
pretty mild though, didn't go too crazy with mods as I like the look as is.
tried to clean out the mid frame area like the yoshi kat too.
Cheers

Ed, your bike was what got me thinking
got a 81 GSX750 tank the other day for free but a little rusty on the inside.
Any tricks for cleaning this up apart from phosphoric acid and a handfull of washers as aggitators and shake the bejesus out if it?
total for build to date:
Bike $350
frame paint $9
tank $free
chain and sprockets $free (swapped for old unwanted parts had lying around)
Head stem bearings $free (as above)
Subframe steel $15
Total to date $374.00 [8D]
ty a magnet round a peice of fishing line and just drop it in there put an inline filter in the fuel line fill it with petrol and ride it [worked for me my VFR tank was horrific inside]
or get one of those liner kit things i think they come with a cleaning /descaling solution
btw well done on the scottish tight arse build mate :}

I might call the bike the aquatic sphinctor as it is being built with a budget tighter than a turtles arsehole....(note to self..colour scheme for fuel tank)
Dazz look here http://www.ppc.au.com/
under Products/kits/fuel tank repair kits
The POR stuff is good. Also, here's a link to an electrolysis method which uses no chemicals:

Thanks for the links guys, might give both options a try.I have a couple of tanks and will see which gives the best result.
sourced a rear shock for $0 but rebound dampening is seized.
and length is about 45mm shorter than original but will sort it out
