For sure kook. Gs1000 might be a fightered drag bike (Ahla papa smurf) or it might be going to a currently bikeless mate. the gpz i don't know wether to fix and fuck off so I can get cash to spend on the others or have some fun and fighter the little bastard. Gsx 450 will probably be a old skool cafe racer. the across i have evil plans for [}:)]. the b12 will be getting it's kit off but not before everything else is finished. I foresee a lot of beer and bike weekends ahead of me. [8D]

what year is the 450 mate (450 or 400?) from what i can see in the photo I'd guess early 80's"e" model, i've got a spare one here i was keeping as a parts bike (no fairings or tank) if ya need anything for yours. I'm playing with an 81 "f" series thats getting the ol cafe racer treatment at the moment.

Hey maggot, any idea how to get the <s>fucking asshole motherfucker of a cunt</s> airbox out? I'm really tempted to pull out the saw a cut the bastard out. I want to put some pod filters on.

Update, The GPz is now running, this bike has so far cost me.....$44 for a new solenoid including the rest of the bike. needs a bit of tart up and i'm going to piss it off.

I was impressed, it's a grey import with twin front discs instead of the local single jobbie. And this will make you laugh.... When you get over 80kph a little red light comes on the dash saying "speed". first time i saw it i shit my self thinking it'd dropped its oil.:D
