I picked this '80 GS1100E up from Zdeno's in Kitchener before they had a chance to strip it apart. I plan to have it ready for the Quinte TT. I haven't decided if it'll be an endurance racer or P3 heavy bike.

I searched around for a triple with handlebar risers so I could use superbike bars. I didn't find one so i decided to make one.

Mark you definitely have skill and talent. Impressive! I think we should call the endurance team "The Real Mcoy Team" Wilf #440
