      here's a couple more pics:





      old paint job:
      Did you modify the stock exhaust? Your exhaust looks different in the second picture. Did you cut a portion of the baffles? The system on my 78 looks more closed-in on the ends.

                Thank you, chef,

                I'm using a Bandit 1200 engine for quite some years now, engine is more or less stock, just a stage III Dyno kit and dual pods on the intake side and a decent race can on the ex side. Makes 130 hp.
                When I decided to be part of some classic race events I had to re-implant my old EFE engine to meet the rules. Again same carbs 'n' zorst. Didn't have it on a dyno bench in that configuration.
                Running gear: GSXR 1100 USD complete front end, inner stanchions extended by 30mm for more ground clearance, Wilbers suspension mod.
                Rear end: RC36 single sider, modified to center bolt, 6" PVM wheel,
                high adjustable Wilbers mono shock
                BOS full stainless exhaust race system. Frame braced here and there.

                  hey could you send up close photos of the suicide shifter?

                    Mindless and Pedda,
                    You guys absolutely ROCK!!! Classic steel being put to their design intentions; I LOVE that! New suspension only makes it better!
                    Great work guys, and if you've got more pics, this guy wants to see 'em!!!
                    THANKS!

                          Pretty clever attaching the clutch lever to the shifter. I was looking for a foot clutch at first before i saw how you handled it.

                            Well, I can't take credit for the customization. As i said in my profile, Dusty Hambrick (out of Sherman TX) did all the work so far. As for the clutch, i don't recommend it. It makes stop and go riding unpleasant, at the least. I will probably add a air clutch or a foot peddle eventual. The throw on the shifter is a bit unmanageable as well, because the pivot is at the end instead of in the middle. It looks tough though...

                              GSX 1100 E with some gsxr mods..ground clearance is a bit problem, but it will be fixed with devil 4-2-1 gsxr header.

                                Mean look & stance, nice level of detail, fit & finish. What part of Europe?
