So, suggestions guys.........

[Gix11]

By the way Garry. My fiorst suggestion would be USD forks mate. Give it some beef up front. Nice GPZ by the way mate.

Geez - i really like that as it is - whats the 1100 out of?
Maybe new head light assembly - something smaller but still chromed - definately not a mask type. New front guard? Its hard to say cause that thing looks tidy as already.

That is an old GPZ 1100 mate.

Change the brake rotors, get rid of the tyre lettering.
Apart from that, PERFECT. [:p]

[hmmmnz]

yeah i'd be struggling to suggest any thing except a usd front end, if it was a ratty peice, that would be a different story :D
nice looking bike,
just thought i'd mention, there is a classic and vintage bike meet, 1st thursday of every month at the flotterston inn, off the edinburgh bypass at the hillend ski slope exit, hope i see you there

There's a bit too much white/chrome on black for my liking. Breaks up the flow of the bike. Don't get me wrong Gazz, that's a fine looking machine. If you want a fresh new look, take some of the white/chrome off the bike , and swap out some chrome for matt black powder coating, or similar. Loose the lettering on the rubber as well, just makes the bike look busy.
Just my two cents mate, like I said looks great,

[BOHEMION]

Welcome aboard Garry!

A pair of Satin black coated USD's is all thats missing in my opinion. Get the front end looking as mean as the rest of it!

Fuck me - didn't know they came in that flavour :D I guess I was one google search away from not looking like a dick head. Thanks Si

I reckon it looks horn but would go with no lettering on the tank or side covers, all gloss black for me.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INTREST I HAVE JUST GOT A SET OF ZX9R FORKS AND YOKES HOPE TO GET THEM ON ASAP

Nice [8D]

I like it as it is, I understand what the others are saying
but I always liked that style, call it busy/cluttered/exposed,
not hiding stuff like factory, making individual bits stand out.
Hoses, bolts, etc etc. Not everyone's taste.

Very good.
