Jesus built my Gixxer
Ok does anyone know of a Mechanic/Race bike Guru who can transform a standard 78 GS1000 into a GS1100 Post Classic race bike... Our shop has the resources to supply the parts but in need of a mechanic who has built these things before. The customer wants the motor ported and polished and the engine blue-printed... Any help appreciated
Have had the name Ken Eyles brought to my attention, does anyone know if this guy is any good or knows his stuff?

Am pretty sure Wayne at Hastings Honda might be able to help, he's the head mechanic there. 06 876 8442
I could be wrong but I'm sure he raced one.

'kin ell, the amount that some guys spend on their post classic racers is nothing short of astounding.
I think I best give up any idea of seeing it as a class that I could ever win in on a budget machine.

"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Haha, you're not wrong, every time I go to buy Honda parts I come out of the shop walkin' bow legged to ease the pain of my battered sphincter....I'll give ya $10 for it, I'll need the other $12k to buy OEM starter gears for it
How's about an "exhibition" race: Stroudy on a Wes Cooley/Crosby GS1000 replica and Craig Shirriffs on a Freddie Spencer rep CB900 and Glenn Williams or Choppa on an Eddie Lawson KZ1000R.

That'd make for a great spectacle wouldn't it.................you get it sorted mate, and while they busy I'll sneak up and grab Shirriffs Blade
