Just bought this old nail..........

by **BOBSTER** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 6:44 pm

I have just bought this old nail locally, it looks a lot better in the pic than it does in real life.

Its a 1977 GS750 with a GSX1100 engine LOOSELY fitted........And when I say LOOSELY, I mean LOOSELY! :lol:

Wheels are crap, forks are crap, swinging arm is prob the best bit on the whole bike.

Dont know what Im going to do with it yet, as regards to the way forward with it, so any suggestions would be handy................

Anyone need a new anchor for their boat? :lol:

What the FEK have I bought?

I think I need some nice USD forks , I have a set of GS750 spoked wheels and alloy rims in my collection of bits...............so that may be a way to go!

I might even do something in homage to my old GT250 http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss23 ... 01_1-1.jpg

Yep thats lovely....But thats someone elses bike, and im not coying anyones bike, I want something unique.

But I want something a little older looking, maybe with an old 1970s Ducati 900ss look about it, maybe with a Mad max style race fairing clip ons and tail piece.

Def gotta have spoked wheels RWU forks and twin shocks.................round headlight etc.

I hate to say it but maybe even cafe racer stylie with a Big racing alloy fuel tank :shock:

I didnt post the pick for you to copy it it was for inspiration only. Yeah cafe racer would be cool. Seems they are the fashion at the minute. I like old skool

Think Ive found a big alloy fuel tank languishing in the local breakers yard. Looks like it could possibly come from a H*nda Britain or some old racer( shusssh) sorry for swearing on here!

I also have an old RF600 in the lock up which could poss be robbed for some RWU forks, clip ons and brakes, and even a fairing bracket, Just an :idea:

Im liking your thinking bud. And looking forwards to watching the project come together. You can get most things made at your works ah

Yep Possibly..........Ive Just noticed theyve got a Tornado CNC milling machine, in the machine shop............Its just finding someone to program it to do its stuff.

Then Bobster is your mother's brother

OOOh I like that............it even looks good with the 3 spoke mag wheels fitted. 8-)

A polished alloy tank would also look cool
