Hello from Strathmore
« on: September 07, 2010, 08:11:19 PM »
Hi folks Im a 44 year old BritisH guy, Living in Alberta Canada, Ive been riding suzuki's since I was 15yo with my first GS550,
Till about 4 years ago I was allway into the older MUSCLE Bikes the GS range, but I decided one day I wanted something Knakid but with all the modern attributes of a new inline four, and 4 years ago I built one,

I bought a 1997 GIXER srad 750. the motor was blown but the bike was in sound condition and never had been crashed, just abused wheelying I should imagine,
I set about finding a donor engine and come across a 2002 GSXR 1000, easy swap huh. all the engine mounts were difernt so set about making adaptor plates for the top end ans shaved down the motor crackcase mounts on the motor itself.
sold off plenty of peices, and the bike as you see it sets me back about $2500.00 canadian
