Thankyou, at the time I had never before owned a brand new bike. It's still looking good, had a little nip & tuck tho. (who said tarts handbag?) The full fairirng bike is my on going injection project.
Oh ! didn't realise you still had it ......... if you want some cash to fund your new project you know where to come :wink:
My 1990 Supersport Out for a ride through the Pigroot (State highway 85) in Otago, late afternoon in April. Bike runs 41mm FCR's on Malossi manifolds with open Malossi bellmouths. The pipes are alloy and weigh about 1 pound each. Dyna 3ohm coils, modified fuel tank holding an extra gallon over stock with external fuel pump. Marchesini rims, Ohlins shock, '97 dash. Shorai 18Ah dry cell battery saved 4kgs weight up front. Cable clutch mechanism designed and made by yours truly. Good fun, I love it, even though it beats me up every time I ride it :biggrin:
Two pictures, one is when I got her and the other is a few weeks ago. The first is when I got her, notice the indicator hanging off and the second is after I degreased the engine ready for painting. She is warts and all
And when did you change the rear shock.....or did you just paint the spring? Seeing as how most on this page show half clothed SSss, here's mine again AL
Well heres my freshly restored , 1992 SL MK1 #110 , Dynojet Stage 2 , Full Skorpion race system Dyna mini coils , Taylor HT leads , Baines Racing twin oil coolers, Arias high comp pistons, Steve Bailey Frame brace and rearset adapter plates. Next on the shopping list 600ss flywheel (being machined by Steve Bailey) and Ignitech ignition sytem.
No I changed the shock back to original, I still have the blue one its a Quadrant. The fairings are not original as the have the gold writing on them instead of the black, silver, white. I did notice that there seems to be a lack of fairings in the pics, must have been cheaper to buy when new. I think the two of them will look good together al, when I manage to get to the stage of being able to use it, can't wait to see what brakes next!!
I should think not...........Mine are just chap and nasty aftermarket rubbish....not laquered, because every so often, I get fed up with decals and take them all off....
Gosh, doesn't the camers flatter? ..... just check out the graphics, for a start! I would say that it goes better than it looks but since it started vibrating and feeling pretty flat last Sunday I can't. Bugger ......
I could do with taking all the paint off and starting again. I did save this bike from being broken, should have know what I was getting in too!! Wanted a dry 750 and they don't come up too often and this one was only in Romford so not too far to travel.
