Not quite a Busa but might bring back a few memories for some of the guys on here...
Bought this a few weeks back....
Relaced wider rims, Katana swing arm, Fork brace, Braided lines, rear frame rails and seat shortend by 50mm,
4 into 1 pipe, resprayed, new tyres and chain and sprox, but best of all....
big bore motor with heavy duty clutch and lots of other goodies.
Had to wait a while, but it turned up tonight....
...along with spare wheels, tyres, disc's, cylinder head, panels, Haynes manual, front forks, gaskets, etc etc
and box's of stuff I haven't even opened yet....

Yeah...
I was a dick-head when I moved here, I'd had a Kat for 12 years
and thought when I moved here, no job, no home, no mates, no nothing
here, it was all to much hassle to bring it with me. What a fool.
Now I can start again.
New bikes come and go, but I think this one's a keeper.

bloody sweet ride and must say that there's something about the old bikes that still pulls a crowd a bit like the Old V8's I spose.
Anyway enjoy the old beast I got my first speeding fine on one of those, probably not quite as quick as yours though..
awesome classic mate, my dad has a 1970 BSA Shooting Star its pretty sweet for an old bike
Cool addition Tony. Love the laced wheels.
In among those additional spares you got, there isn't another of those spoke/disk brake rear hubs that you would be looking to sell off?

Sorry Mate, The spare wheels are all alloys.
Early GSX 'Snow-flake' style,
and late Katana type (3 pairs of spokes) similar to the first GSXR.
All tall and skinny.
A pair of wires to fit a Kat went for $500 or $600 last week,
If I hear of any more I will let you know,
even if its just hubs.
Might be easyier to look at the US.

Nice toy, a real classic, the spoked wheels even give it more style. Photo bought back some great memories. Had a 750 same model ,black with red pin stripe , had laverda bars & a premier 4 into 1. Loved that bike. Strong motors too.

Thanx Tony, I will have to check it out.
If you do see something would appreciate the heads up.
Nice bike!
Please get a pic of you wheeling the thing.
Nothing i love seeing more,than bikes that arent meant to do
wheelies.
Wheelie.
