I'm going to be objective here and say I don't really like it. Don't take it the wrong way as I am sure a hell of allot of work has gone into it but personally it doesn't apeal to me. I think the paint looks like you've parked it under a tree with excessive sap leakage and the headlight surround looks like you've hit a cat at high speed and its ass is still sticking out the front end.

I do however really like the look of the engine with alloy radiator and braided line and the dash looks good too.

[suxukifreak]

and thats why they call you "evilkarl" ;)

[Gix11]

That swingarm is the business mate. Love it.

Karl, honest opinion is always good mate. If we all likes the same shit...... (you know the rest)

That swingarm is sweeeet! Very nice. I have always wondered about those breathers put the top of the clutch cover though? What does it prevent or do excatly?

[evilkarl]

True dat Gix11. and i'm not having a go at the bike, just stating my opinion. Hell the bike is probably 3 times better built then anything i own. There are plenty of good looking fighters around.

[greenmist]

the paint work has changed
the dash has gone
the crank case breather is there because its not a standerd gsx1400 engine (its been played with) top speed to date 176.2 mph (not bad for a
gsx 1400)

as for evilkarl like he said every one is entitled to there own opinion and he has his which is fine with me no offence taken every one to there own thing.

thanks for all the comments
karl.

[BANDITROD]

[xb9r]

[suxukifreak]

Nice 14 there Greenmist. [:p]

And comin from another 14 owner, you THINK you've finished. ;)

That swingarm is the highlight of the bike mate! Well tasty.

[TheBogyman]

yea lower the light, and maybe go for an under engine can, keep it really clean, and a set of race rearsets would help,,,as for the rest it looks really well
