Don't count the triples out. Here's what you can do with a GT380 if you put your mind to it:

Mark,

The GT380 was built by a Brit named Tony that posts on the caferacer.net board. He said the wheels are:

"I think the wheels are C.M.A , a 1970's aftermarket wheel."

he also provided details on the forks:

"forks are non standard 380 iitems, they are off a gsx550e"

I'm already making mods to the GT380. I love the bike, but I'm craving a little more power, especially on long interstate hauls. Riding the small bike gets a bit exhausting. See pics below to see what I've done so far, still considering rearsets, 3-into-3 exhaust, set on more minimal gauge cluster and new rear shocks. This winter, planning to completely redo the wiring and shine everything up proper. Oh, and not in the pics, but the original tank badges are back on the bike, too.
