I have decided to strip and rebuild it as Suzuki should have, It has only done 2,300mls from new but there is room for improvement.

Here is a before pic.

The bike is now stripped down again, so if anyone is interested i willl post pics as i go along, it will be cleaner than my KR1!!! [/img]

Can't see the pics Mr T... And I for one am very interested to see if you can turn the Tpot into a super steaming Teasmaid

that looks tidy already

.

youre gonna add some panniers (with the built-in stabiliser wheels upgrade)
for those tricky harbour side cruises?

lets skip the bike because my mate had one. Its never going to look nice because they were butt ugly, the tool box will be fine it looks much better

Photobucket have been messing with the format and i can't figure out how to upload pics,

As for the teapot being butt ugly i disagree i think mine looks great and is a nice colour and i am only rebuilding it into something special because i can!

I will probably never ride it but it is something to tinker with, and i am sick of having £10,000+ in a superbike in my garage and never riding it, i spent nearly £60,000 in 7yrs on new superbikes and that doesn't inc the 2nd hand bike i bought awell.

I'm going to have another go at uploading pics.

Sust it







I intend to fit:

New tyre's, Renthal sprocket's, Gold chain, stubby lever's, Viper can, Katana heel plate's, Custom seat, Stainless header's, lot's of Chrome plating, Rezinced bit's & bob's, Braided brake line's, Some carbon fibre bit's already ordered etc etc.

I look at it like this i have been saving to pay off my house in the next 18 months so do i pay the house off or go buy a brand new superbike!!!

I can buy whatever bike i want when the house is paid for and i will.

Here is afew of my old bikes












I miss my garage in Goole If it was not a 20ml drive i would not include it in the rent and keep all the bikes i build in it.

That's an interesting front brake on that Buel.

What was it like?

The Buell XB12R was a great posers bike, lots of torque and would lift the front wheel at just over tickover, It would top out at 135-140mph, but the sound was mental with the straight through exhaust and under the dummy tank is the airbox with a vorticity stack big enough to get your fist in so the induction noise was incredible.

Just after this pic was taken i fitted a spring loaded belt tensioner after i snapped a belt and had to push it home 2 miles.

I should have kept that bike

I can buy whatever bike i want when the house is paid for and i will.

May I just suggest a Zxr750k? Then apply a little bit of the Teerex magic...... & bingo

I have afew idea's, I must admit Stew it is killing me doing all this saving when i would love a brand spanker bike but I have to look at the whole picture, god I sound sensible and old

Just found some pics that our lass had put on a hard drive ages ago of some of my old bikes hope you like then.

That's why my eyes see green all the time

Now that thought is worth quoting, and so true.

I didn't go near a bike for nearly 10yrs, from 29 to 38. Then a mate turned up at the house on a GSXR 750m, I had a quick spin and that was me hooked again.
