Straps on a SMP

Spot on. I gotta ask as your avatar is small and all I can see is the Eddie Lawson colours. I that a Z1100R? Although your user name may give a clue.

You got a good eye, Tubber

(Sorry, OT) It´s a Z1000R ´83, bored to 1109cc, slightly ported head, Mikuni FlatSlides, Martelius one-off SS-headers, Kawasaki By Kerker silencer (´84 option from Kwak US for GPz1000), Öhlins, USD front from a ´99 GSX1000R, rear from ´99 ZRX1100... So not too much original left but usually people don´t even notice it´s modded. In the second pic my bro with his son on their ZX10R´s. My avatar pic is taken at the Auto24Ring in Pärnu, Estonia a few years back

Yeap, Team Green 😁

I think a few folks around here use the term Franken? 😀 Nice bike! Be safe!

That is a thing of beauty. Like you say the over-all look isn't that different from standard but once you clock the USD front end and brakes then the braced swingarm and Ohlins. All the little details start to come in to view then. I would give my right arm to have something like that. Not a big fan of the new ZX10's, prefer the old ZX10's, 1988? Or the predecessor GPZ100RX. All I could find here was a 1982 GSX750 SII Katana.🙁

Nope Alam 👍. Franken is when you put something together from odd parts. Modding is when you tear down a running original to make it look closer to the real deal and make it a bit more modern at the same time.
