Here's what I did this summer  ::)

Very cool Leino. Now what's this photo that was snuck in under the radar!  ;D Multi talented no doubt!
Having a good time on my friends FZ 750 classic "racer". Stock engine and not much racing parts in it but plenty enough for a track riding novice like me  ;D

Slowly starting to rebuild the racebikes, not gonna do a full season this year but a few events anyway.
It's been three years without any seat time but things are moving in the right direction and it's time for a comeback.

As Sam requested years ago, my friend is now bulding me a longer swingarm  ;D

Also if any member here has good pictures of a GS/KZ conversion chassis and maybe measurements or any other data/good advice I'd be glad to see pics and read about it . Thanks!

Had to check... we are racing each other 25:09->
The pair before us was a Suzuki GS 1150 (or GSX 1100EF in Europe) against a ZX6R Kawasaki

The conversion thing is for future purposes, building a small tire GS big block for Super Comp Bike (8.50 index) with the usual stuff, sort of a tribute to older Pro Stock motorcycles.

I'll post as many pics as I get, the guy building the swingarm is an old friend of mine, we have known each other for over thirty years. He is the man when it comes to machining parts and welding stuff together  ;)

He usually gets the "artistic freedom" when he makes parts for show Harley's etc. but I told him not to mess with my plans, just do what I ask  ;D

Very nice. That is an unusual rear wheel...is the color staying (Imagine it would as you pay premium prices for those kinds of wheels).

Thanks for sharing the swingarm build photos, very nice bit of kit there...

The wheel is from a -95 GSX-R and the color is definitely going to be something else  ::)
Gonna paint all the stuff after I'm sure everything fits and works.
