In the beginning

After 15 years of watching Drag racing and doing several Run What You Brung events (RWYB), i fancied going faster. I came across an old Suzuki-GSX based, competition dragbike, the sellers description reads:

Suzuki GSX1100 Engine
Two meetings since comprehensive engine rebuild

MSD ignition - Two step - Dyna coils
Wired for shift light
Air shifter
Mikuni smoothbore carbs
Lock up clutch - straight cut primarys
V+H exhaust
Wheelie Bars
7 * 18 Rear Wheel - New M/T Slick

Also:-
1260 cosworth engine with all good bits
Gas flowed - O/S inlets - H.D studs - Uprated oil pump - Cams - Billet Clutch

I have already viewed the bike, agreed a price and have arranged to collect it in just over a weeks time, it's in need of quite a lot of work. The frame and running gear is all very good but my plan is to strip both engines down and build one good one from the parts.
