    Everything has a beginning - starting the GS750/1100/1127 gsxr thing

    After delays caused by employment changes, visa changes, house changes ( both sides of the Atlantic) its time to start building a new Frankenstein GS.



    Most of the parts have been accumulated cross other projects and were lurking in tote bins, so, first task was to identify what I had .

        When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

            Spent half a day ( playoffs to watch) fabricating engine mounts and fitting the 1127 motor into the 750 frame.


            I’ll make the frame braces up tomorrow

              Hope this will be a superbike, track bike.
              Just wondering if you weighed the 750 frame naked?
