Just bought a running ET off a mate on another forum. Hoping to put it on the road very soon and a bit later doing a few sprints and RWBs. Hoping it will look something similar to my old bike. Still looking for parts without going mad on high performance , expensive stuff. I do need some good carbs and either a long swingarm or ideally removable extensions. Any offers of help or parts greatly received. My old sprintbike in 1983; [/quote] Picked it up yesterday. Believe it or not , it was converted to a "bobber" and then a cafe racer. I have a headlight and tail unit, sidepanels, a ESD seat and a GSX tank I need the rubbers to fit headlight to fork brackets, tank rubbers, tank filler cap, headlight binnacle and clocks, extended Bandit 1200 swingarm, side plastics , between panels and tail. Loads of other bits to find.
I remember going on the back of one of these. My neighbour Tony Hart (not the artist) was manager at Magnum motorcycles at the time and he told me his new bike was a proper bike and not a fart arse fs1e.It was an eye opener for me as a 17 yr old kid.
I don't suppose you know the original registration number? I know my original GSX1100ET was chopped because I saw it in Holmfirth once. I was very disappointed at what they had done to the poor thing.
