Gidday, old newby joins the clan

Post by Benz810 »

Gidday,
Just joined up as it seemed the right thing to do, after talking with Dark Reign, about thrashing his ZXR7 trackbike for fun at Hidden Valley. True I'll have to buy it off him first :lol:
Other than that I've been hangin at Aussie Streetfighters for a while now, and my present ride is a GPZ810 turbo that has cost me waaayyy too much money to put together, but as they are pretty rare, I'm hopin that one day it will all be worth it.
Until then I'm hoping to keep it upright,in one piece ,enjoy the boost, and get a trackbike to save the turbo's arse from frying down that long HV main straight. :kuda:

The old girl has a new tank since that shot, new rubber,better front brake reservoir, dyna coils and leads, seat mods. Next on the never ending list is a set of 310cc injectors, and a Power Commander to get a bit more gruntage ;)

Very neat for that era...from some of the photos I've seen (GPz750 Turbo) it looks much the same just the rear guard removed...nice... :kuda:

There's a lot more goin' on than just the rear guard removed! '91GSXR USD front end, gixxer rear swinger, shock and custom linkages. The plan was to make it look stockish, but improve on Big K's original look, and lose as much extra lard as possible. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, but there's always room for more improvements :D
