Hi from Newcastle area.
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:02 pmHi all,Ive been into aircooled suzuki's for as long as I remember,right from the start of my biking days with a GS750,before i passed my test. Im always busy with bits and pieces,but normally helping others out,rather than doing a great deal for myself. 
I recognise a few names of people already registered,so look forward to some friendly banter with one and all.
Ive a ton of projects,but the one that fits in best here is my good old EFE thing. Its currently under a pile of rubbish,but i do have a freshly powdercoated frame sitting in a shed,as a good starting point.
Ive noticed that one member on here is building a gsx1400 engined Katana,so maybe i will be brave and make a start on another engineless EFE i have in storage,with plans to stick an 1127 gsxr engine in.
My in need of a rebuild EFE. The swingarms a one off,in stainless box section,with the frame modded at the rear to allow the use of two lock up struts (as if a twin shock),engine is supposed to be a 1260 thing,but ive never needed to pull it apart to see inside yet? The exhaust is a star racing propipe style thing,which (ahem..cough..)used to even be used on MOT day. The bike was when 1st built,painted flourescent pink with flourescent green wheels,with sponsorship from a "adult entertainment sex shop" lol. The front end was a kawasaki usd one,but i dont recall exactly what?
The plan to rebuilt would have two possibilities,one a non turbo replica of Steve Burn's GSX,as hiding behind the site banner thing at the top of the page,or if i could get my stuff together a draw thru turbo version. Ive already bought a FBM one off alloy plenum,an ex BigCCracing 1500turbo Kat Mikuni HSR carb and a garrett turbo as well as a Mitsubishi one and a KKK one too. Decisions decisions....
