Here is my '86 GSX-R1100. Actually, my third 1100, but second Gixer 1100. A quick ride on this 4N RockeT^® will definitely make you wish you were literally glued to the seat. Very few people have been fortunate enough to ride this one. After totaling my first '86 up in Azusa Canyon, (Hwy 39, north of the 210 Fwy, at about 3000 feet elevation, at midnight), I was lucky enough to purchase this one from Greg Lamb, General Manager at Saddleback Motor Sports, in Laguna Hills. I always wanted the blue & white model but it was rarely found. It originally belonged to Greg but I was able to take it from him for a reasonable price, considering that I had been a loyal customer and this was my third purchase from Saddleback. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff has always been good to me.

Just to list a few of the non-stock goodies on this 4N RockeT^®:
A very old Vance & Hines SuperSport pipe (very loud/need a new one to be less conspicuous) aluminum flame sprayed to dissipate heat (and to go along with the original paint scheme), along with V&H ignition and timing advance, V&H performance clutch, K&N individual air filters hugging Mikuni 36MM Flat Slide / Smooth Bores with accelerator pump action, Progressive Suspension coil springs up front, White Brothers modified stocker shock in back, NGK JR9C dual tipped spark plugs (work much better than the stock ones), Dunlop SportMax II D204 Radial at rear, Metzler MEZ1 up front, '88 GSX-R1100 front fender, steel braided lines up front for precise stopping control, '88 GSX-R750 handlebar grips, Napoleon bar mounted rear view mirrors, and lastly (I think), a modified fender eliminator kit.
