Too right [8D]

[JDinOZ]

Fuck yeah awsome Bike ^^ How much time u spend into that? ... totally worth it!

[Iceman]

Ok, so it's been a fair while since I've said or done anything to this bike. A few people has asked me for a bit of an update. Seeing as I'm too lazy to walk out to the shed and take some new pics, you'll just have to use your imagination for now.

What the photo above doesn't show is the new high mount exhaust, or the front indicators intergrated into the fork legs. The fuel capacity is only 8 lts at the moment as the tank you see is not actually a tank. It's just a skin. There's a little coffin shaped fuel cell that we made up and attached to the frame. I have a mint 07 tank coming at the moment so I will be able to choose between the two. Realisticly a one ltr tank would do the trick as the bike hasn't moved for months.

The motor was rebuilt last year with a bigger bore, HPC coated pistons, a bit of a headjob and a decompression plate.

I'm planning on dragging it out this week, so I'll get some pics then.

[latheboy]

It doesn't even need a fuel tank to get pushed around the island:D

[hooligan]

your bike looks awesome in my imagination.

[wackyrider]

You must have a hell of an imagination then

[Redmohawk]

I'd be happy to see it go more than 100 meters lol

[Iceman]

Since the engine rebuild it has done more K's on the dyno than on the road.

[Redmohawk]

You going to take the old girl out for a spin soon then ? That 900 is very tempting atm but the shed allready has shit falling out of it every time I open it, and I have just bought another fucking bike lol. How's the kat going ?

[scotty]

so 5 or so now???????

[Redmohawk]

seems you have gotten rid of the 900 anyhow lol

[Iceman]

900 was sold today, got enuff bits for 1 and a half kats.

New paint looks good Clint. How is it running now and are you happy with it?

Kris.

[Iceman]

Happy enough to ride it to Bathurst.

[Fight_fan]

This the new tank cover I heard about at last AFR?

[Iceman]

No Lance, last year it had a fake tank over an 8lt cell. This is an genuine suzuki fuel tank.

[BANDITROD]

Lookin good clint you should have put your helmet next to it ;)

[Iceman]

Didn't even think of that Rod. Every time I remember to take pics of the helmet, it's all overcast and shitty and the pics don't do it justice. I'll take some under artificial light and put them up.

[BANDITROD]

Good man and overcast is the best for pics cos it's a natural white light

[Iceman]

Some of you may have seen that I was selling off a few bits from this old thing. I have decided to get it re-registered and I figured there was no way I was getting a RWC with it being the way it was. As I started to strip parts off I started thinking I might take it in a whole new direction. Funnily enough it means undoing nearly everything I have done over the past seven years, and hopefully it adds a little more reliability back into my little GS.

[Redmohawk]

What turbo did you use on the old girl ?

[Iceman]

Adam, it's a IHI RHF3.

[Yella]

The return of an ASF classic bike

[Iceman]

Probably wont be welcome here anymore.....

[Redmohawk]

Adam, it's a IHI RHF3.

[TurboKat]

I started thinking I might take it in a whole new direction.
