Chassis mods

- Welded mainframe with most emphasis on making the area around the swinging arm stiffer. Have placed two extra aluminium bars under the gasoline tank and above the top fixing bar for the rear suspension. Have placed an aluminium block to the rear of the engine in order to keep the engine correctly located inside the frame (first year I did not have this mod and I pulled the engine more than one centimetre to the left.). Home made sub frame for the seat and tail light.

- Front end from a 90 GSXR 1100 (on Suzuki GSXR series all front ends will fit in between without any mods.)

- Modified stock swinging arm (welded sub frame underneath and shortened 3 centimetres.)

- Home made foot pegs.

- Marvic magnesium wheels, 3½"-17" front and 5½"-17" rear (I have huge problems with the original Marvic rear sprocket rubber clutch. It is not able to absorb the power of the engine and I have just pulled the left rear wheel bearing out of the magnesium towards the front sprocket; result new rear wheel :-( )

- 320-mm front ISR brake disks and home made stainless steel rear disk

- Brake callipers from an 89 GSXR 750 with home made adapters in order to fit 320-mm brake disks.

- Brembo front brake master from a Ducati 996 (very cheap however unfortunately not the radial type.)

- Clutch master from a ZXR 750.

- Front suspension modified with shorter and tinier spring in order to compensate for the lighter bike (standard GSXR 1100 is about 40 kg heavier.)

- Ohlins steering damper (A must have-have you ever tried to do a wheelie and then when setting down the front wheel it is then not pointing in the right direction-just a joke. Helps keeping the bike stable when exiting fast uneven corners.)

- Ohlins rear suspension (for me it is Ohlins or all the rest -You can contact the factory in Sweden and they will make the damper to your specifications.)

- Home made instrument panel consisting of an oil temperature gauge, Kroeber tachometer, and a Sigma BC 800 bicycle computer (This little cute thing will show actual speed up to about 290 km/h and is very accurate have tested it with a speed trap at 200 km/h and it showed 3 km/h less)

- Grips and ¼ turn gas roller is from a YZF 1000 Thunderace. - Front light is from a BMW 750 car!!!!!!!! (Very impressive light performance using 100 watts H1 bulbs and light is the new DE style using lenses inside)

- Rear light is from a 97 GSXR 750.


This must be the largest brake fluid reservoir in excistence.

AN Ohlins steering damper for people who don't like riding rodeo's.

You can see from a mile these have to work for a living!

Brace yourself.
