I reckon a GP125 engine in an FXR frame with GSXR wheels would be a good combination for an ultimate bucket.
Just matter of finding all 3 at the same time !!!![]()

The Delta is almost ready to fire up. I have just got my welded manifold back. I now have to cut and file the manifold face to match the carb, which is going to to take me a while.
Anyways. I have ignition. I made a basic loom, and with a wiring diagram from Stanko, getting a spark was easy. However, there's always a however.... I can only get ignition by running a battery. At this stage I'd rather run without the battery. Can anyone running a system without battery, provide me with a wiring diagram.
Cheers
Cool to hear there are suzuki gp engines going into these
I think they are the best but I could be a bit biast
Steve you bring this bike up next time ??

Had a good day on the Delta today.
Picked up the welded inlet manifold flange. Had to dress it back and clean the face for mounting the carb. It seems to have worked as I had hoped. Having the original manifold coming straight from the engine the carb would foul the exhaust. The new manifold has a left bend, which seems to fit quite well.
I am going to fit the front wheel and front brakes back in tomorrow. The flimsy aluminium bracket that holds the front mudguard has been replaced with a 3mm steel copy, I am hoping this will give the forks a little extra support.
Here's a couple of pics. I think we will try and get the motor running tomoorw as well.
thats getting to pretty to ride
look good

A couple of wee things, other than looking good. The catch bottle is higher than the carb bowl, so it will flood into the carb, instead of draining into the catch bottle. The choke butterfly and pivot tube are unnessary restrictions if you don't need a choke. Bren's down here (so he says) handles like a dream, I'll find out on Tuesday when I jew a ride.
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
Spent the whole weekend working on the bike.
Finished fitting the front wheel and modified front brake assembly, all good, little spongy on the brake lever not surprising with the new pads fitted. Hopefully that will settle down.
Had the Motor running too today. Sounds really sweet the The concerns I had about restrictions from the muffler appear to be unfounded. A few loose ends to tidy up, and I can get her off the bench. Reloacte the catch bottle, secure the battery, and oil change, wire locking the sump plug.
When I get the bike off the table, I can do a wheel alignment although I think it's pretty much spot on. Can't wait to take her for a quick spin up the road.
