Gp100 bucket racer

[MarlinHemi]

Hi i am looking to make a bucket racer out of a mint condition 1985 gp100 but i am only 12 (a bit mechanicly inclined) so they need to be simple to do so i can enter when im 13

Marlin good to hear you are interested in building a bucket. The place for all info about building a GP100 is here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...post1130944032

Don't be put off by all the chatter.

Or you could start your own thread in the "Buckets" section then you can keep us all informed of your progress and ask questions without getting lost in someone else's thread. Rob and the ESE guys are very helpful and the Suzuki GP100/125s are their bikes of choice. A mint GP100 might be worth selling on and the money invested in a race ready bike though I understand if you want to do the work yourself. On that note it doesn't matter how much work has been done or how good a bike is there will always be something else to do.

Thanks very much! Will be starting to do some work soon

What have you got planned for your bike?

I DEMAND PICTURES

[MarlinHemi]

Well just one of those no bling all fling buckets just make it as fast and functional for as little as possible

[MarlinHemi]

ive al ready dropped the bars and removed mirror but uts going away for a bit to get fixed beacuse of a knocking noise (probly a bearing) and stuffed tire

[Askor]

Good tyres are THE thing to have. Who's doing the work on the motor?

I have some aftermarket rear shocks for a gp100/125 you can have if you want

[MarlinHemi]

I am getting a suzuki technician to do the work to the motor And i Will get some goood tyres Thanks!

how much do you want for those shocks?

[Cheesy]

That looks tidier than my road going one

[MarlinHemi]

Well it needs a new battery and light bulbs its deregistered so i thought may as well make it fast for maybe some weekend races!

[Askor]

how much do you want for those shocks?

$0 if you get someone to pick them up. I believe they're koni (kony?) brand. PM me.

[MarlinHemi]

anyone know where i can get an exhaust with and expansion chamber for it?

You might have to get creative and cut and weld something to fit. I was planning on remaking this one again to fit my GP, its a gutted RGV pipe but from the little reading I have done they are not the best option.

Thats pretty cool! but i cant exactly weld oh well i might get someone i know to help me with one Nice bike! Out of interest how fast does that go?

No idea, bought it, got it going, rode it up and down the drive a couple of times then started taking bits off it. I think its a GT125 frame, the engine is GP100
