You put a what where?

Well, it's a completed project, but can you guess what it is?

Hint, engine and chassis are different, but are from the same parent.

Looks like a Seca to me. Can't tell what's in it though.

Yes! 83' GS750ES transplanted with a GT550 2 stroke triple. To understand the benefit of the more "modern" chassis, you would need to ride a clapped out 70's Japanese motorcycle. :lol: Such horrible handling and braking. Nothing quite like the sound a 2 stroke triple with chambers make at full song!

Looks fun. I'll just have to imagine what a 2stroke triple sounds like since I've never been around one before. As the owner of a '70s engineered Honda, I can agree with your statement completely.

They do sound awsome. Well I only rode a kawi tripple 2, but I imagine the Suzuki tripple sounds just as cool!

Sound is basically the same, but the Kawis had about 50% more go. I'll get a sound clip next time I have it out. If you go to youtube and enter GT550, there are a a few clips there of bikes with chambers. There are also 3 into 1 chambers for these that sound awesome, IMHO.
