Zuk's Rock!
Hey all, just joined and figured I'd stick something in here. This has been ongoing for a number of years, but the last couple of years I've really got stuck in, hoping for completion by the end of this year.
Started like this:
Currently like this:
Still a long way to go for sure, but it's definitely taking shape finally.
One of my aims was to keep it as stock as possible, so I haven't done any frame modifications, although I did use the frame work from the duck tail to weld on some curved bits of metal rod to form the tail piece.
It's been through a complete frame up rebuild to where it is currently.
It's got a tail light from a CL360 on it, modified front guard from a GTR1000 as the rear guard, and I got the pipes made by a local mob here called Tranzac.
I'm currently working on a fork brace and front guard.
Haven't decided on paint yet, but am planning on a pair of lengthwise stripes and painting the knee dents the same colour as the stripes as well as making some rubber knee pads for them.
Other plans are for a bash plate, hand guards, and mesh stone guard for the headlight, which I also need to replace.
I also made up an adaptor so I could use the 'bar mounted choke lever from a newer GSX as I hate having the choke lever on the left carb.
I'm just hoping the rest of my work can do that pipe justice!
