GIA003 GSXR 1260 / MV Augusta / G-Tek

We're back on track now and on with the next frame build from our list of bookings :) The current project is a Big Tube Aluminium Frame, Sub Frame and Hand Made Aluminium Petrol Tank for a GSXR 1260 Engine.

The customer is using a Zed Tail unit, MV Augusta Swingarm, MV Augusta Forks & MV Augusta Wheels (190 Back Tire).

This is the second Martek styled (we named it G-Tek) frame we have built and the first job was bending and shaping the tubes, next the tubes are polished to a mirror shine before being fitted and tacked togther in the JIG.

Single Sider for Biketec's K2 1000

Well, our first entry in this new blog marks the first singlesider to leave the GIA stables! We are snowed under with work right now, which is great!

We were in the middle of moving whilst making this singlesider and there really wasn't enough hours in the day!

So cheers to Mickey @ Biketec for his patience! The arm has been cleverly developed from 7020 T6 Big Tube Aluminium, it is shaped and made with no joins in the tube (in the same way top Motorcycle Builders like Spondon Engineering make them). Needless to say Mickey from Biketec is chuffed to bits with the arm, which is fitted to Biketec's Suzuki K2 1000
