It started life as a Suzuki GT550 2 stroke triple bought from a mate for a bottle of Vodka. After riding it for a while as standard I decided to chop it. I purchased a GS 750 engine from a breakers in Ipswich and, as I was intending to make a custom frame my self, I told DVLC that I had fitted the engine long before I informed them of the change of frame. So I was able to keep the original reg no. (L) so it is classed as a Historic Vehicle and has free tax. It's ok in straight lines but, because it is low, corners are taken carefully especially two up. One of the main problems is that it has slightly too much trail, not a problem on the move, but it can 'snatch' when at a standstill if you turn the bars too far. Apart from that....

Frame - Hand built from Sch40 seamless steel tube

Engine - Suzuki GS 750

Bars - Twisted 'T'

Front Wheel - GT 550 4 leading shoe

Rear Wheel - GT 550 laced to a 16" rim

Drag Pipes - with internal baffles - still crisp tho

Seat - Naff, needs a re-vamp, when I get time..

Chain - Rather long, not one of my better ideas
