He does do some really cool and interesting builds.
Really nails the look that he is gong for, but the bike still functions as a motorcycle

1978 Suzuki GS1000 (Skunk) Dunstall

Land vehicle Vehicle Motorcycle Motor vehicle Car


it may be a little ugly, but man look at that parts list:

1978 Suzuki GS1000(Skunk) Dunstall. This bike has a ton of original rare 1970s parts, that were installed by the original owner. The bike has an original and hard to find Dunstall GS1000 kit, which includes a full fairing and original Dunstall GS1000 rear sets. Also....is an extremely rare Zero race seat, Yoshimura shocks and a Kerner 4 into 1 exhaust.

I have owned the bike for for the last 3-4 years and have upgraded several parts. The front end has been replaced with a Honda VTR1000F Super hawk, with a CBR900RR front wheel. The rear swing arm was replaced with a custom GS1100 aluminum swing arm, that has a swing arm brace from a CBR900RR tig welded to the bottom. Rear wheel is a CBR600F3, with a 530 chain conversion. Carbs are running open velocity stacks, with a dyno jet stage 3 kit.

Bike runs great and strong! I've ridden the bike all summer(still riding it almost daily) with no issues, but need to move onto other projects and make room. Clean title in hand. Below is a current(10/20/14) YouTube video of the bike running:

I know sand cast CB750 pipes are becoming harder to find but $495 for a new #4 pipe is stretching it.
Factory New 1969 1970 Honda CB750 4 Exhaust Pipe Sandcast | eBay

$21.95 shipping, if I could find a sucker to pay $500 for that pipe I would gladly pay the shipping for them. But if they are that dumb I guess I should take every dollar they have if I can.

The value in any CB750 is the pipe.
So since the early bikes are crazy valuable that means the pipes are too.

sold an NOS set of 341 pipes for $1750 and that was years ago.

I want to sell everything right now.
Because racecar

I've thought for a few days about what would be a worse bike than a Vdue. I couldn't come up with one.

You have to ask why a bike, especially a model with a woeful a build history and reliability record as a Vdue, is still 'new' after all these years.

Have some Italianos bolted together junk that was lying around in the warehouse? I'd guess so.

Danger, is my business.
