Such a refreshing channel , I watch many motorbike channels on KZbin . They all seem to start off humble then before you know it they are all big time Charley's out of touch with normal bikers. Keep up the good down to earth work .

Thank you for the lovely comment. 😁 That means a lot to me. 👌

Eyup Baz I can't get my head round how futuristic that design was all those years ago it really stood out from the crowd . You're doing a great job in saving an important piece of motorcycling history can't be that many left now , really looking forward to the first rideout si de next time pal 👍👍👍

Another cracking video mate, she’s not a million miles away from being done, it’s a credit to you !! I must admit I was secretly pleased the rear tyre wouldn’t go back on as I just know you’d have set off to Scotland with it on, having ‘pretended not to see the cracks’….. keep up the great work and thanks for the mention, you’re not so bad yourself… 😉

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

😂 I was just clowning about mate I wouldn't have ridden on that tyre haha. Great tip with the brake cleaner deserved a shout out. 👍👋 See you soon chief.

@@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport same headlight motor ( with the exception of built in relays) Mazda mx5 miata. Dodge stealth , and Mitsubishi 3000gt. But they have made a left and right motor strangely for each side of the car ,depending on which side of the road u drive.

[@shanerobertson6267]

Also Baz be wary when you first start to corner with the pdf units - it’s a little strange the feeling of pdf unit as normal bikes u brake hard prior to corner and get the satisfying dip of the front end. It’s not so apparent with the pdf and very unnerving braking in a corner. It’s ok when you know the bike. Make sure pdf on same setting cheers Shane

Looking great . You're on the home straight.

Go go go, looking extra good. I was trying to remember what piqued my memory so much about this bike and it came eventually - Jack Shit and his ‘crew’ from Bike magazine in the early 80’s (in place of Ogri) I still have some of the t shirts and a silver ‘shithead’ pin 😁

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

He sounds like a classy guy. 😂 You'll have to send us pics of the t shirt mate.. Your mug is on its way by the way Kevin. 👍😁

Good day sir. All the way from South Africa. Where can I talk to you about spares? Building a Suzuki Katana Pop-up myself. Need light control unit and the duck tail for number plate light. I don't have a light unit control box at all so need one even if it is broken just to see how it is made and wired. Do you have any spares for sale maybe? Love the channel. Thanks Leon From Capetown South africa.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Thank you sir. We don't have a light control module spare but I do have the plans you need to build one of your own. If you send us an email through our website link in description I'll forward the plans to you when I'm at the pc next. 👍

[@shanerobertson6267]

EBay see if you have 8 pins or 9 pins module usually 9 pins white bike 84 and . 8 pins silver 85 generally . Search Gsx750se or gsx750sf pop up katana
