I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road.

I agree there doesn't seem to be many about nowadays,

Even though it will take awhile to complete I'm sure it will be worth it as I have always liked these bikes ever since Cus my mate who was afew years older than me took me for a spin on the back of his red GSX750ET back in 1985 when I was just 16yrs old, It was awesomely fast compared to my DT50MX

I hate to say this Ian, but your push bike project would have seemed fast compared to a DT50MX

True I used to get sat behind the bus at 45mph and then go to overtake !!!!!! and as you pull out the bus would disappear into the distance lol

My DT125E was not much better

Shiny NOS gold & black badges PHWOARRRRRRRR

it's amazing how easy nos parts are to obtain at the moment, I got a brand new alloy engine badge and clutch lever, together with a side panel sticker for my 250 Suzuki katana, the prices aren't too scary either, was chatting to a fellow biker who said that parts for twenty year old jap bikes are easier to get now than they were in 1993 ! its great to see the original wrapping as well

2 tank badges, 4 screws, 2 side panel badges & an infill trim panel that goes under the seat, total £127.

Shiny wheels

Well done Ian =D>
I can appreciate the effort that went into getting a finish like that

Some more pics of the progress of my GSX750ET I'm starting to get bored of it now though.

Bored or not......that looks top =D>
Attention to detail is second to none that man

yep. I second what gary has said. keep going with it ian.

I've excepted an offer lads of £1,600 I just can't be arsed anymore, I doubt very much I will build anymore bikes.

I will how ever buy some very nice restored bikes providing they have full documentation ie pics & receipts then just tinker with them and ride em.

what's new
