      Nice SweetP. I'm in process on mine. I have never seen another one on the road..ever. Can't wait to get her finished up. Yours looks great!

        Thanks Sci! I havn't seen one around either myself! My buddies tell me there is guy nearby with one, but havn't seen it, but they tell me it's a wreck! It's a lot of fun to ride! Do you have a thread going on your rebuild?

                Now Joe, you can't just tease us with those two pics, even if you have to put the pics of the hot rod Honda in the "Other Projects".
                Looks and sounds like quite a stable going on there.

                    Never mind Joe, i found your website.
                    Amazing bikes and some great racing video.
                    Ha, i have a stock CB160 and it sure doesn't go like the ones in your clip.
                    Is the 900SD yours? Always liked the look of them.

                          Nice bike. Did you modify the front engine brackets under the exhaust to allow for the rubber mounts?

                            The engine is elevated by 10 mm by new engine mounts. My aim was to gain more ground clearance when doing turns in a more enthusiastic way.

                            What rubber mounts do you mean?

                                That appears to be a 1150 motor, which buzzes noticeably more than a 1100. What do they call them in Europe GSX?

                                Not sure over there, but over here all the 1150's came with rubber mounts to quell the buzzing.

                                When I transplanted my 1150 engine into my '83 Kat frame, I rode for awhile like this noticing the excessive buzzing through pegs, bars, everywhere basically. I had a local machine shop graft the rubber mounts onto the stock brackets.

                                Supposedly it comes from bigger wristpins than the 1100 used.
