I thought that I had Moditus. This guy has an incurable case of Moditus.

I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

So.....is that a GTS frame with a single sided swing arm and Hayabusa body work? Looks like a FJ engine..

 The GTS had that "Omega" frame Pat. Not really much of a frame per say. Looks like the FJ frame. That tail section is from a Suzuki TL1000S. I'd say that guy has to much access to bone yard parts.

With two calipers on one front disk, that's something different.

Thanks Mike...yea, I see it now...it's a single sided front fork, not hub centered steering...

Where have I seen a single side front fork before?

Very interesting mods.  Sure would like to know how that bike handles. It would also be nice to have a photo of the left side showing more of the suspension. My biggest question is how he got the chain lined up with that wide rear tire?  Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

I wonder how much fun guys get from the end result of modifying their bikes  or the actual work itself.

Both!

The FJ responds well to mods - especially suspension (and of course engine!)

But, like most things, the farther you take it, the less gains for the effort/cost/compromises made...



Awesome project - would like to see the whole build on this one!

I suspect this is PhotoChopped. The angles look wrong, especially the tank\seat\tail area, like it's slightly bent.

   I hope it performs well because it sure is ugly!!! Is it just me or did some of the not so glamorous looking gals in high school have some of the best looking ass's!!   The FJ has a nice looking ass, even the natural real 16'' size, and not kim kardashien look at my big 17'' fellas!

Better mod that kick stand....or maybe that chunk of whatever is attached to it?

Looks like it is a bike that is  in England maybe ireland.
