This Mk2 project takes more time than I expected. Could not resist to get other bike last month.
I got H**** CBX! :shock:

Not just one. Two! :oops:

550, indeed. Yes, CBX 550s. :wink:

People ask me why CBX and why 550!
Well, I will send these CBXs back to Japan next year. One may go to my brother's place.

I am chasing a GPz1100 as my next target. Hopefully I will get the one soon.

Crank works (entire engine works) were done at S.E.P Kegworth. I have 4 more cranks to repair at SEP. (2 for my Z1, and other 2 for Mk2.)

PS: popsA1
I live very close to where you are based.

Which model GPz1100, the B1, B2 or 83 zx1100 models ? THey are all different (I have 4 of them so I can give you some pointers

I have not seen the actual GPz, yet, but it is a uni-track model. (ZX1100 A2.) Will try to take a look this week- next week. DFI seems to be working fine, but I may change a computer sensors unit upgrading to modern one. Some tuned computer units are available in Japan.

I said to Aston "there is nothing about the Japanese style bikes that I don`t like"

Something was maybe lost in translation and I should have said I have liked every Japanese style bike I have ever seen.

Astons bike was beautiful in a very understated way
