I'm liking the G clamp holding the round thing on the front under the motor. :thumbup:

A proper well used bike, top man/person.
It's one of those plastic bottles with a screw on cap and mounting. Mostly used for tractor operating manuals!

That clamp doesn't appear to be on that cylinder (looking at the 3rd pic) - it looks like it's either clamped on the frame or doing the job of an exhaust stud to me. :hmmm: Squeezing in the wrong direction for that though methinks.

Either that or it's an impromptu footrest. :)

If you go on the configurator on the site, you can spec the Termi full system, it's only a £5k option.

Why would you go above 80, the highest speed limit in the UK is 70mph :p
In that case, 50 BHP is sufficient ;)
Try 14.6 hp!

One of the triple club members won 'best modified Japanese street bike' category.

A very tidy S2 350. Looks factory made. I bet it'd be fun to ride. 8-)

It's a restomod and they've even gone with modern/nardo grey - they'd have been ok going with some smaller LED indicators!

That's very tidy indeed. Not normally a fan of grey, but that works. If it was me I'd have used a 500 or 750 as a base to work with, though.

I kinda like it, but it'd look better in green, obvs, and it looks odd without twin shocks. Dunno why that bothers me, but it does. A bit. Not a lot though. But enough to comment. D'oh!

Pulled into the petrol station same time as my Dad did on his Fazer so they got chatting. The bloke was given it by a mate ,who had it in his garage for 12 years. Usual problems cleaning the carbs etc but 33k miles and looks mint.
