Firestones, brat-style seat, crappy Emgo shocks, and cut-off exhaust.  Winner!  :o  I bet JWilde would pay a premium over asking price!!

C'mon guise, ya'll know how much work it is to make a cafe brat!  So what if Jwilde paid too much for it.  That's profit into the hands of a shop business!  Now the guys get paid, the bills settled, and maybe the next build will be able to afford a proper set of marzocchi shocks.

Ya know that 750 is gonna sound mean runnin straight off the collector!

Yep, the neighbours will love the sound, and the new owner will learn the joy of doing a top end rebuild once he burns out his exhaust valves and  melts holes in his pistons because it's running so lean with that open exhaust and Ebay pods................ ;D

Yep, I bought a Suzuki GS1000 that was a "non runner". It had a pipe just like that one, the PO had put pods on it's CV carbs, and said it had run really poorly (duh!) under load. I did a compression test, and 3 of the 4 cylinders had no compression at all. I whipped the head off and yep, 3 of the 4 exhaust valves were burned out. I replaced the valves, installed the OEM airbox and fitted another exhaust, and rode that bike around for several years. Cheers, Terry. ;D
