    '89 GSXR nearing completion.

    Just have to replace a couple feeble stock connectors and attach the tire hugger and then test ride!

    beautiful looking bike. I see you are doing a little touch up paint so it is probably looking pretty good for such vintage bike.

        I guess it does look like there is some painting going on, but that's from the '78 Toro Groundsmaster resto Having said that, it does have quite a few nicks and scratches from what looks like poor transporting in a truck\van. Overall though, very good shape. It only has 25k on it. The previous owner said he couldn't get it to run right after rebuilding the carbs. It's no wonder, he left out 2 balancing springs, o-rings and springs from the mixture screws and somehow during all that, he had pulled the cap plug away from the wire from the coil. All pretty easy fixes. It did need fork seals and I put new wheel bearings in just because.

            The bike looks great Mark! I'd really like to see that one in person and hear it run, great stuff.

              Need some bar-end weights, Mark? I have a pair from the '94 GSXR1100 front end that's on my 80 GS11.

                Thanks Dave, it does have a pair but there doesn't seem to be a receiving nut for the throttle side. Just another one of the "little things" I need to sort out.

                            Looks OUTSTANDING ! Did you perform an oem resto ? Here's a pic of my restored 1st gen 750. Lot of money and sweat invested but it came out awesome. My 750 is a weekly driver as well, I don't spend all that money on garage queens ! You may remember me back several years ago, not sure if you saw my finished bike or when it was just a wrecked pile of parts
