I don't suppose there's a build thread for this one somewhere? Love to know what tank was used and if the frame was modified.

There's no build thread. The tank is from a GS1100EF, and I think it is the same on the GS750EF too.

True :up:

But my new GT550 is also VERY eager on lifting the front wheel. It's quick as f**k!
