Naked Busa on the road that needs new seat/subframe rear end,
B-King that needs pipes, JMC arm etc,
Project Busa frame, swingarm, fairing etc that needs everything...

Currently working as much as possible and saving the $$$$.
Unsure if to spend on bikes or relocate where i've got some elbow room to work.

I'm rebuilding the 12r with a one off subby and tail, german head light and front guard, custom triples + 1287 cc over bore kit aiming for 190+ RWHP and possible 25hp dry NOS shot.

But be honest chop - your just trying to lure Si out with his project specs... ;)

Nah mate. Just showing what I'm doing thats all. The XR will be done in time for a Hotrod show in September , the Santee is something I do when the mood strikes and the Zed is a commuter that I'll build a rigid frame for next year and resell maybe .

My 1400 changes every week.

I'm rebuilding my DT100 bucket racer engine(for the last time)..detuning this time.

Repairing a TT350 for a friend...he flipped it out and now the frame is bent and various other bits are fucked.

And I'm planning a crazy 4 wheeler build...Honda TRX250 fitted with XJ900 motor and drive shaft...have all the bits just lying around.

A tidy up to my GPZ 600 fighter. Cosmetics mainly but might be getting some engine work done as well.

Budget build and can't take long as it's my only transport.

All the work is being done in my shed or at work

2 on the go right now: My ZR1100 Kawa and my ladies ZX6R slammed and stretched.... no it aint gonna be green either !
Pressures on for me to get my Zeph done so her bike can come into the work area of the garage.

Shes doing her own bike mind you. Wo`nt let me do the building part.
I just took the tank and all the plastics off ready to be painted.
Shes a better mechanic and engineer than 95% of the blokes I know. ;)
