He’s got two Wilwood brake master cylinders with a balance bar to adjust front-to-back pressure and one clutch master cylinder, custom Sportcycle wheel spindles, Wilwood aluminum wheel hubs with drilled and slotted rotors with four-piston calipers up front, 16×7 front rims with 205/40 ZR16 tires at the front and a 5.5×17 bike rim with a 205/50 ZR17 car tire at the rear. He’s got a Wilwood quick-release steering wheel, a Kerkie racing seat, Simpson five point seatbeat, and a bike speedo that goes up to 185 mph. The bike powering it is a 1992 Suzuki GSXR 1100 with about 150 HP. Jeff says it handles great and has tons of power.
