I got this old banger from Aido(slow and wobbly) some time back and have been doing a little here and there.
When I got it ,it was in a sad state,and along with a box of bits it arrived...
The motor had 60,000 klms on it and is as tight as a drum,high comp and doesen't blow any smoke.
My thing is not to do a full strip down and fully rebuild because I don't have time for all that'
But it's coming on ok an It runs like a dream.It's been a challenge at times but that was what I was looking for
And my aim is to have a toy to buzz around on and to look a little knocked around like an every day cafe you'd find in Europe say..
It's not finished yet,but It's been very slow on here lately so I thought Id'e post some photo's of thunderstruck V 2.0
Hope you like.

Very nice example.
Wouldn't mind a go at something similar with a cafe twist!

Looks the goods. Wasn't/isn't it a GPZ 550? I saved that thread for future reference for whenever I eventually get to mine

cool little bikes those 550's.......If anyone reading this thread has a fucked bottom end from a 550 - I would be interested in buying it, mainly for the gearbox.

Sorry Gos, I'm hoarding pending build. I'll get there one day, once the 7 is on the road.

Looks good, you should turn it into a Cafe racer though, one of these seats http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LARGE-BLACK- ... 3cd6c99b26 drop your bars and put a set of Bar end mirrors and I reckon it'd look a treat!
