Just for you lot

[Mr Moofo]

I quite like that.
Seat's a slightly wrong angle

[KungFooBob]

I don't mind that (too much).

It either needs a front mudguard, or the mounts chopping off the forks and why have they made the levers in to prison shivs?

[Taipan]

Dunno why, but i'm thinking that would be quite striking IRL?

How I remember trying to get a GSX750 to run on pod filters, airbox went back on after endless fiddling with jets and air correctors.

Edit: just noticed it's got Teapot carbs, they're even harder to get running right in pods.

I think it’s more the tank that’s wrong making the seat angle look wrong when the seat flows with everything else, angle of the exhaust, engine etc.

I like it, would like to see the rear wheel on the ground to see how much the angles look with regards to the seat tank head etc.

[ZRX61]

Hope he doesn't need to adjust the settings on the forks....

[Skub]

Taint bad to look at,but there are quite a few practical issues if it's to be ridden.

[G.P]

What vintage of GSX is it? I had an '81 GSX750E. I recognise the engine but nothing else!

I'm still trying to get my GS750 to run properly on pod filters. I've got enough jets to start a mail order business

[Skub]

I went through that process with my Z1. Bellmouths looked well trick.

I never got the thing running right despite having more jets than a race team. The last straw was my mate coming past on a Honda F1 when I was flat out.

The airbox made a swift return after that.

83/84 ESD, but he's chopped around the rear end, now it's just a floater, rather than the full floater Suzuki wanted it to be.

If it's still got the original slide Mikunis it's possible to do, you'll definitely need air correctors, speak to Chris at Grumpy 1260 for advice, don't be shocked by the swearing.

If it's got CVs off a later bike, good luck, I've never got CVs to work on pods.

You wouldn't think the crappy, tiny air boxes on 70s bikes would do much, but they obviously do.

Weirdly, I've never had any problems getting two strokes to run well on pod filters, not that the bikes ever went any quicker with them on.

The only pods that work ok ish on the big oil boilers are the K&N double jobbies that are effectively 2 mini airboxes and even then it's a right faff.

Obviously going by the lack of mudguard that bike will never be ridden in the rain, if it even runs at all. The pods just look good.

[DefTrap]

I like the styling but not bothered about the GSX motor.

[acrmnsm]

I likE the while thing, agreed about the levers but the rest looks great.
