Suzuki GT500 A Cafe Racer

The final incarnation of my café racer.

 

Designed and built by me in my teens. I always knew that the skills honed using the Meccano set would come in handy one day.

 

Unity Equipe tank, Suzuki RG500 seat, Dunstall rearsets, Piper 2 into 1, Koni gas shocks, "Jack Bottomley" clip ons and front guard, Dunlop Red Arrow tyres, K&Ns, powdercoated frame and top yoke, Glowble metalflake paintwork. The Piper did nothing for the power (probably reduced it!) but it sounded great.

 

Lookwell Leathers jacket and Kiwi K7 helmet. And a ratty old pair of trainers.
