1986 Suzuki GSXR750 Yoshi rep For Sale

I bought this GSXR about 3 years ago as a partly completed project. Its an 86 slabby frame/ tank with an early slingshot engine installed. Swinging arm is the slightly longer GSXR1100 slabby item (which calms the shakes down).
17" Wheels brakes and forks are slingshot to give good modern tyre choices and it really does feel very planted on the road.
I've been right through it and its now fully MOT'd with no advisories. Everything works as it should.
My aim was to try and recreate the look of the slabby racers used for racing and endurance in the late 80's. The first time I rode it into work someone said " Blimey, it looks like its just come back from the Bol D'or!" so I guess I must have been somewhat successful.

Trick bits:
-Pirelli Diablo Super Corsa's.
-Custom Ali battery box.
-Lithium battery with LED charge status indicator (not cheap but weighs less than the cardboard box it came in!)
-QD seat (race f/ glass mounted on original base so whole thing comes off by pushing the underseat catch.
-3/ 4 fairing comes off in 1 piece with just 3 bolts leaving headlight etc in place.
-Hagon shock (firm but very well damped).
-Stainless Yoshi look high level exhaust.
-Yoshi style carb heat shield.

Like all projects there were times when I wondered why I'd ever started it but I've had great fun building it and I'm really pleased with the way it rides now its finished. Its not a show bike but it does look lovely (in my eyes anyway).
I've lock wired various parts just for the look but I've never raced it (no guarantees for previous lives though). V5 in my name and all numbers match documents.
Took it out yesterday in the sunshine. I had fitted a noise killer baffle but fortunately the fixing screw came loose and it blew out. Wow, what a beautiful soundtrack.
Last price reduction……I only need to sell one bike and I have interest in my BSA so don’t miss it……….. it’s a bargain at this price!
