well hear i go again .. this bike needs some work ... tried to do it to a budget   :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: its cost a bomb uptill now  but any way . the story goes like this was going to do  his skyway ta he won the nationals on . but  the parts was mental so i am doing this GT performer  its a bit of a odd one  its right in between 84 and 85 just as gt was moving factory  .  so i had a lenghty chat with mister "stodgy" and thats what we have came up with . the fork have been played with they have been drilled for fork stand,s and they have no end caps . but any way  i will try and do this build step by step pictures  . " i think a few guys like this "


this is the bike  with dave on it   :LolLolLolLol:

were some one has cut the ends of the forks off . i have straighted the end of the forks  and  my mate own,s a locksmith
