Teakettle resto-mod finished
Rest-mod finished, modified GSX600F (tea pot) running gear with billet yokes to compensate for the smaller diameter wheels, clocks modified to work with 17" wheels, one off Mick Abbey pipes

Re: Teakettle resto-mod finished
That's nice!!!!!!!!!! very tasteful mods, suit the bike, well done Just curious, was there much difference in the overall circumference of the wheels and tyres.
I just hope you haven't sown a seed in my mind now.

Nice job. I can recommend the Abbeyspannies - there's a set on the Earwig, nicely ceramic coated here - https://www.camcoat.com.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: Teakettle resto-mod finished
Hi Tony, thanks, can't find my measurements for the rear wheel but increased the height of the shock mounts by 15mm and fitted a 70 profile tyre which gave me the same ride height, the front I just measured the overall length from fork top to tyre and had yokes made 22mm lower, I ended up buying 20mm longer shock to get the raised rear look
Cheers
