If the mods dont think this is suitable as its not a thumper please feel free to delete it.
I AM TRYING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX ON THIS ONE :D :D
Its a gs1000 g shaft drive, bought with no barrels or head so the engine is no use to me(http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/17/12/80/38/new_im10.jpg)
Today removed everything off the frame then added the new front end, gsxr upside downies & a spoked gs twin disc wheel.
The other swinging arm i had modified by my lads mate is going on this one, gsxr600/750 converted to twin shock, that cannot go in until the foot peg hangers are removed.
I machined down the threaded part of the (the bit that bolts in the frame on the original bike) gsxr swinging arm spindle & opened up the mounting holes to suit.

This week i have done loads on all 3 bikes
This one is just about mocked up now just waiting for the engine to turn next week.its a gsxr1100 lump.
Will get it in new mounts made, few brackets welded on for rear sets seat & all the frame braced.
Im going to use gsxr 1100 wn forks calipers & hopefully machine the discs or the early gs550 spoked hubs to fit the discs. the rear will use the drum.
This will give you a rough idea of the look im going for, as for colours the frame will either be candy deep red or candy blue, the tank seat & mudguard will be in....... you will just have to wait & see :D (something special that i have never used as its so new)(http://i72.servimg.com/u/f72/17/12/80/38/photo_10.jpg)
