I bought this 750ES about 6 months ago & promptly sold it to a mate for a small profit [
] i bought it back last week with another 1000 miles on the clock but taxed & mot’d till march for a bargain priceHeres how it looked when i got it back
& heres how it is now with the ‘new’ exhaust i made up from what was laying around
I’m Not sure which direction this one will go in yet but i have some pretty original idea’s for it buzzing around in my tiny mindWe all suffer from this…mecanic one of our new members is looking at buying his 3rd bike tomorrow and he only passed his CBT about a week ago lol! Toogs had all three of his bikes out on the Cleobury run last weekend, and quite a few of have more than one bike. One would only get lonely: thats cruel.
The GSX looks solid enough and your zorst is a big improvement. I nearly bought one of these new in 1986 (I think). They had a reputation for great handling and Suzuki were doing great deals on them…
How about some pre-war RAF colours for it…
Or heavily modified air raciing P51 Red Baron type scheme:
That exhaust changes the bike quite a lot (for the better). I guess it’s difficult to style this bike though as the side panels are so big. Tank would look a bit strange without them.
Interested to see what you do Slim.
Well this one is in mid rebuild now & looking very different to how it started out, pics will follow in a few days but just to give you an idea its now twinshock, sports a 4.5″ gsxr rear wheel, a b12 front end, a single disc & a fabricated rear end/tail
Still black & getting blacker btw

i can do a decent paint job with cans just have a look at my gsxr 7/11 fighter & some of the other bikes ive posted pics of on here & ive been doing just that for many years the point is i recieve no income at all at the mo & already have a bucket of matt black in the shed []
its a rat so i’m using what i have with a bit of skill & cunning to create something a little different, if you dont understand you are on the wrong part of the forum []cheers slim
