Bought this old girl up and running but I,ve set to and started to paint and bling it up a little.
Its a Twizzle frame,single sided swing arm with Triumph wheel and twin rear calipers.
The front end is I believe also off of a Triumph with welded on risers and T-bars.The tanks are 3 old conical fire extinguishers.
The lump is a Suzuki GSX1100ET but upgraded to 1260 with carillo rods,forged pistons,welded crank and back-cut gears.The carbs have been upjetted to suit and the pipe is a one off beast.
All the major work was done by Twizzle himself as it was his daily ride at one point.
I,ve just rewired it,moved the switches,polished and painted a few bits and I,ll be adding afew more bits as and when i acquire them.
This is cool, how is the riding position with the clubmans and rearsets?
Thanks - it's actually pretty comfortable, it feels alot like my Speed Triple, a little forward, but not uncomfortably so. I was going to take a pic of me on the bike, but oddly enough my iphone camera doesn't appear to have a timer on it. I used some clamps from a pair of ebay clipons and a chopped pair of bars for for my bars.
