Topic: Found Something Pretty Interesting, That Someone Else Is Building

[bill440cars]

      Now, give it a chance before you cry "Foul", okay? Found this over on North American Two Strokes. A Suzuki GSXR with a GT750 engine (with reed valves and downdraft fuel injection being added). Don't know much about it yet. Want to find out more before I go on about it too much. I'm always interested in builds that take an unusual route.






       I have to back up and say that the 1st shot is a GT 750 frame modded to take on the GSXR components. I'll be back with a better shot of the GT engine in the GSXR frame later.  Sorry bout that.

That looks like it would be a very fun bike! I have seen a few Ninjas with the Kawasaki Mach III and IV engines swapped in as well as a few S bike swaps.

        Yeah, I've seen some pretty wild Kawas, but a "Water Buffalo"? Besides that, this guy and his son have taken to modding a GT750 frame, to take GSXR parts and here are 2 that they have completed:






       And here's one in progress

Here is an awesome Kettle that has been featured in numerous UK bike magazines. Built by a guy called Richard Lindoe and it's a mix of a GSXR1000K5 and GT750A

Bill - if you like that one then you will LOVE this one  Same builder as the K5 Kettle. Bloody beautiful

         Have to admit that the 2nd one IS an exceptional build at that!   All things considered, I could see myself riding the 1st one more so. The 2nd one is really complex, to me. What I'm trying to say is, if you needed to do much of anything to the carbs or nearly anything else, you'd nearly have to pull the engine, wouldn't you? Seems like the engine is nearly surrounded by the frame, isn't it? Understand, I'm not knocking the build, it IS an Awesome accomplishment. Thanks for posting both and, if you've got more, bring them on, please.

I like the K5 Kettle too. The other one dubbed 'Incredible Kettle' by the builder is pretty sweet though and looks very fresh and modern. If anyone in the uK fancies building somrthing like this the builder Richard who goes by the ebay ID filth.filth is selling one here:

       Looks like quite a setup there. BTW, how does 770 pounds relate to the U.S. dollar? Just curious. Like to see THAT one finished out. Thanks for posting it.

This has not reached reserve yet but £770 is approx. $1350 USD
