Upright bars and a good clean
very nice, looks spot on :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
Interesting. Where did the body kit come from?
Couldn't possibly be as uncomfortable as the original :rofl2: :rofl2:
The only way to do it, putting a 1400 into a 1980's bike is stupid.

It looks like 1400 running gear with a body kit to me :popcorn: :whatever:
That does look good but a very mild weapon compared to my neighbours new toy. If you get the chance to ride in a 488 Ferarri on full song you'll know what I mean when I say ... brutal.

What good is a Trolley that can't get over the speed humps at the shopping centre?

Just a tad more expensive to buy and own than a 1400 ! Well, about half a million tads.

When neighbour told me to jump in I declined saying I've got dirty work clothes on. Don't worry about that, it's only a car he said. Only a fucking car ... yea right. I just managed to squeeze in but needed help to get out and a total waste of money & completely useless around town. If I had money to burn would I buy one ... too right I would.

Appears I quite enjoy doing stupid things.
This is my 1985 EF with a gsx1400 engine... currently 1700cc . It is a long term project and i am trying to fix multiple oil leaks so it is not running like i hope it would ;)

Never ridden an MV Agusta but the ones I have seen in the flesh and able to check out the details were of very high build quality. Very impressive just for that.
Edit: Just remembered this experience. While looking closely with big eyes at an MV Agusta two bikers came up. One said "That's a beautiful bike." The other biker thought he meant the MV but the first biker pointed to my 14 and said: "No that one".

Totally different bike mate, believe me I know owned both. Did you have to cut the frame like i've seen in the Katana jobs.
Look what I loaded on to my trailer not long before I left Oz.

My frame was a jigsaw puzzle to be able to fit that engine. It is better documented on OSS ;)
I just couldn't be bothered, to me just put the cosmetics on a 1400.
Rather keep the classic bike original.
I now have from that era an EF, GPZ, FJ and VFR. Even have two of each except for EF for spare parts.
A good mate of mine has big bored his early model Z1000 to 1400 and is have problems with oil leaks on top end.
