There's a pic of that bike in one of the old action bike mags, I'm sure someone can scan it in for you. I just thought it was candy red.

Yes here you go, no. 32 July 1985. I have scanned it in for you, I was going to build this one myself, but I dont think im going to get round to it, it does look awesome. I have an NOS seat I imported from the states and NOS grips if your interested.

AJK bikes might have the decals and the forks are the ones that came with an 85 Mach One or Pro Series. Just looked at decals , they didn't have white, here's the link......

I'm fairly sure candy apple red was a Hutch Trick Star colour so would doubt the GT would be the same.

haha thats the first pic i've ever seen of eddies red world tour :D

my red gt world tour was slightly darker than a trickstar, when i bought it in 85 from superbikes in ilford they said it was candy apple red, i'd say it was more like a metalic finish,

my decals were pink though

If I do another Performer that's the one I'm doing, always liked it!

I've always wanted to know why Fiola rarely used the standard Performer forks because I've always thought they were ok. I've seen him using them on some of his rides but in the majority of cases he used forks from a GT race bike. Anyone know why?

the one in the youtube vid looks like it has alloys

i think ef run the different forks as the dropouts weren't so tall, pushing the flip down pegs over the border into useless county
