JHS episodes are easily my favourites. The combo of the ex racer and guy who has ridden absolutely everything, teamed up with James’s endless talents and ideas makes for awesome content. Be so cool to see Al and James build they’re ultimate race replica
Ex '98 750 SRAD owner here, owned while it was young enough to still have a warranty. The only word you could not use to describe it was standard. Rear ride height adjuster, LED light tail tidy, 4x 4 inch flush fit indicators, Harris adjustable rear sets with polished custom GSXR heel guards, end can and the Dynojet ECU with a rolling road custom map and an 11% shift in the final drive gearing for more acceleration punch on track days. Do not let anybody tell you it should remain standard, us original owners did nothing of the type, just get her running and back on the edge of her tyres
Original, gets it out of the showroom… Just like the MTs… most of the money goes to the heart, and you put whatever you want on it to make it suit you.
Nice bike they are. Build quality notnthr best. But back in 1998 real fast. And better handling then the other brands. Had a 1998 750 srad for 5 or 6 years.
That swing arm is a work of art James....and who cares if you didn't keep is period ,if it was pristine and had very low miles then I could see not wanting to change it but for what you had to what you have...so cool. Thanks for all the content you guys put out.
Resto mods are far more interesting than period correct museum pieces. Keeping an old bike on the road with factory upgrades whilst retaining the original vibe of the bike is where it's at. There is going to be a renaissance for these types of bikes!
@@pauln6803 please tell me what they did wrong with the sv1000? I know the tl1000R is a quite wild ride. 135 hp right? Did they tame down the engine a lot or? I have never riden a tl1000r. Heard they shake their head quite a bit? But thats not the engines fault. I had a 134 hp 1998 750 srad for 6 years. Have a zx10r 2005 streetfighter now. But would like to know what they fucked up, if they fucked something up with the engine in the sv1000 :-)
@@sund5 First off the TL S and R are supposedly very different bikes; the original S being a hooligan that was inclined to shake it's head, whereas the R was stable but had a weight problem. Actually, they both have a weight problem, it's just that Suzuki lied even more about the R being fond of pies and cakes! The R motor had different cams, a more refined injection system and the frame was a massive beam job with a braced swing arm. The S and the SV had a sort of semi aluminium trellis and unbraced swing arms. The original TLS had a V twin bottom end drive with a two stroke top end rush, whereas the R is supposedly smoother in it's power delivery but ends up making a couple more bhp than the S. Later TL-S models had less aggressive throttle response and supposedly didn't make as much power as the original '97. As per usual, neither made what Suzuki claimed at the rear wheel. 118hp for the S and 122hp for an R would be more realistic but I read about an S with a full Akra system and mapped Power Commander making over 130bhp at the rear wheel. The early S also had a lot of electrical and chassis problems, such as poor grounding, low speed stalling, leaking fuel tanks, leaking clutch covers, oil level window in the wrong position and cracked frames due to the rear damper mounting being over torqued at the factory. In comparison the SV motor is flat and totally unthreatening. I believe there were changes to the timing and ports, along with injection to smooth out the power. Unfortunately, they cut it's balls off to make it behave better instead of developing a truly competent chassis. The SV had budget parts bin forks and a conventional rear shock. I owned a '97 S and I can honestly say it was hilarious to ride when not dumping my (admittedly inexperienced) hide in the road. Unpredictable is a good word to describe the TLS's handling. A mate still owns an R, modded with a WP shock and fork internals. I've never ridden it so can't say how different the two TL models are. Both had the infamous rotary damper system and both could suffer "rubber frame" moments on roundabouts, where the bike feels exactly like it has a flexible frame - not a tank slapper, just an occasional mid corner weave that's cured by a quality conventional shock. I had an SV on loan for a couple of months while white van man's - who knocked me off my first (of 4) Aprilia RSV - insurance company was messing about. Nobody truly got to the bottom of why the S had a tendency to shake it's head. I once would have argued that it wasn't unstable, until one day on the way to work I took a roundabout in committed fashion and as soon as I rolled off the throttle as I was joining the traffic ahead it went into a full on lock to lock tank slapper. A lot of people blame the rotary damper that works off a rocker instead of a conventional piston rod but I'd already replaced that with a Nitron race shock. I finally got sick of the problems and crashing, bought an '03 Mille and found out what good handling and brakes were. I stopped crashing too(!) The Italian bike was actually more reliable and the Aprilia/Rotax 60° V twin is known to be a solid lump that will happily clock up high mileage. As to the direct comparison between the TL1000S and the SV1000S, I'd sum it up as follows... The TL is always trying to put the front wheel in the air, it runs wide in corners unless you replace the rear shock and has the Suzuki standard of shit brakes. It's not exactly forgiving and tends to dump you before it warns you. The motor has bags of character that just urges you to roll on the throttle, feeling that big V twin chug change into a snarling rush, accompanied by a glorious induction roar and the front wheel lifting beautifully. The SV is essentially a decent commuter come short distance tourer that pretends to be a bit sporty. The handling is lighter and much easier to ride than the TL, but the motor has zero aggression or soul. It's all a bit nice... It's smoother than the TL, but feels less grunty and obviously doesn't have the top end rush and has to be provoked to wheelie. The air intakes on the front fairing are fake (nothing to channel the air into the airbox) and there's no induction roar. Brakes are still shit. The basic ride quality is fine but it didn't like being pushed like a real sports bike and is the polar opposite of the Aprilia RSV Mille, which gets better and better the more physical your input. Put it this way, once I'd found another Mille and returned the SV I was immediately struck at how stiff the chassis felt in comparison. Not stiff as in harder springing because if anything I'd say the standard (not the R with Ohlins suspension and forged OZ wheels) Aprilia RSV Mille had slightly lighter spring rate than the Suzuki SV but the frame and connection between the wheels if you get what I mean? My current RC8R has that same light, easy to get on and ride away thing of the SV but is ultra stiff, razor sharp to turn and very sensitive to input: you move, it moves. KTM's LC8 motor feels like a 1970's tractor that's been tuned to the point of exploding and had a supercharger bolted on for good measure, but it hasn't burned a drop of oil and I've never seen any swarf in the mesh strainers or paper filter in the 20,000 miles I've added since buying it. Gearbox requires local planning permission and multiple bureaucratic forms to be filled in between gear changes. If only Suzuki could bring the TL engine up to date and give it a chassis like the KTM or Aprilia...
Have the same arrow can on my rc46 vfr800. Found both the can and two bends to make a link pipe in a scrap bin. Did it as a high mount and beautiful V4 delicious sounds.
yup, al the JHS featured episodes are the best tbh. James' knowledge is properly entertaining along with sense of humour. learn something whenever he's involved
When James hinted that he was going to box in the rear swing arm I though it would be cool but when I saw it on the bike wow that’s friken awesome love it and happy to see BBB reload back srad for ever
What with the mods brilliant stuff looking absolutely fantastic,, cracking that swingarm,, and all the rest of the mods ,, ☘️🍀💚 been looking forward to this,,, from northern Ireland 😁
i knoe the arrow exhaust is the correct to use on these but always thought those yoshimura triangle exhausts would suit these 90s gsxrs, even though they meant for busas
I bought a 1998 srad 750 after seeing the BBB , It needs work to say the least and these videos give great ideas, screw period correctness , Do it they way you want to , Please more of this bike please...
"JAJA - Swag Racing" was a back of the field Suzuki effort in the 1996 Suzuka 8hr, although the 1997 team "MOTO BUM with Me" might be more apt, despite being on a Honda Firestorm.
Nice. I had a 1998 750 srad for 5 or 6 years. I was Nice! But wanted a more upright seating position. So bought a zx10r 2005 streetfighter. Thats 175 hp of hooligan :D
One of the late Paul Shoesmiths “Ice valley” Racing colour schemes with the stylised cartoon Japanese girls etc would look fantastic on that SRAD …..👍🇮🇲💪
It's great to see the SRAD finally getting some proper love at the mighty JHS. I'm absolutely certain it'll be embarrassing a fair few poseurs on box-fresh superbikes (come track-time in the new year). And as for colour schemes, Al: check out 'asphalt and rubber' & their 'Photos: 33 Years of Suzuki Endurance Road Racing' for inspiration. Now then, what the Hell's happened to that Ninja?!
That swingarm is just a thing of beauty!! The white wheels look wicked nice. I honestly like the stock colour scheme. Can't wait to see the rest of BBB
Guy down road from me,John. He owns a little company called Bath mate. You might of heard of it? And he races bikes. Maybe email him about a sponsorship/livery. He’s done it on other bikes.
I'm loving that swingarm. Will definitely get mine done the same. Have you got a discount code for the wheels? The price gets pretty high by the time they get shipped to NZ. My SRAD is currently in Zebra fur, a possibility for your consideration for period modifications, It gets a load of attention at the track. The next set of fairings will be done in the 85 blue and white / anniversary colour scheme to match my other GSXR 750s. Love your work guys
Just wondering, does the factory swing arm have a specific heat treat for the aluminium to obtain an optimal strength/rigidity/impact resistance and does introducing a weld alter this?
I see the guys at jhs use tables and have an abba sky lift. Is there and pros/cons to either? Finally getting a garage and trying to decide between both
Do you guys actually sell those stock swingarms already welded with the plates/hangers etc? Wouldn’t mind a “JHS Specials Swingers all polished up myself….

I love coming home from work and seeing a new BBB Reload video and especially at JHS racing - James you legend
you 2 buy a cheap budget bike then spend half a year fixing it and spending 20 grand over all its great i love it saves me doing it
Haha took the words right out of my mouth!!
20 grand???
I thought this was a negative comment to start with haha! I love it too, great entertainment 😂

I'm just trying to work out what they did. Did they clad it in some flat sheet?
I love where this is going! Paint that bad boy the later Lucky Strike scheme.
It's great seeing these old snotters being brought back to life. It's good to see the bikes coming along too.
Finally ❤🎉 I watched all reload again yesterday. Kind of strange that there are hundreds of car shows but close to none rebuilding older bikes.
James is a such a cool character. Everyone that rides a motorcycle should have a James.

Alistair,
Gsxr k6, k7 forks. You can run the stock brembo calipers off the later bikes.
Unless it's '04-05.
Looks mint.
Al's next Suzuki to build with James needs to be a TL1000.
'97 S - the wayward hooligan.
Bloody terrible what Suzuki did to the engine in the SV - they cut it's balls off!
Then try and track down the super illusive factory race kit for it.
@@pauln6803 please tell me what they did wrong with the sv1000?
I know the tl1000R is a quite wild ride.
135 hp right?
Did they tame down the engine a lot or?

Really glad this is still going on! missed this build!
Finally a BB video....I was scared that I was gonna wait till next year to see another episode...wicked!!!
Love seeing the work shop stuff about getting the bikes ready. All sides of bikes.
The plated up swinging arm is nice, matches with the oe frame nicely.
Glad to see episodes starting to roll out on the regular

These vids are the only thing keeping me motivated on my builds. Cheers lads.
Great to see an up date on the SRAD, hopefully there will be more now James wants it out his workshop 😂 keep up the great work 👍
Keep the paintwork original Suzuki blue and white Al. It will look mint. People will think it's all original, until you pass em! 👍🤣🤣
I think you should go with the Jamie Whitham 1989 Suzuki paint scheme 🤣👍🏻
I love a JHS episode 👍🏻

Glad you're keeping up with this
I don't think you get enough credit for your music choices. 👌
Agreed What is the song in this that started at 11 seconds
I think James came up with the perfect company for the livery. Prestige 😂 have to love a step brothers reference
Superb idea on the swing arm, Mint Customs has been bracing Suzuki swingarms for years, looks great. Feck the haters on keeping it period 👍👍👍
They're back! YAY, i've waited so long!
You won already, mate. Beautiful SRAD
BBB, what a great concept 👌 More!! 😁
I just got some bridgestone T32's, loud tyres!
Finally, been checking your channel every day for WAY too long waiting for BBB! Oktoberfest came and went, and now only my beer belly is still here🤣
Waiting on this for a long time!!! The best BBB in my opinion!!
The rear swing arm reminds me of the britten 1000 rear end .
Looks like a race bike. I totally love it, and I rarely like older bike designs.
Workshop vids are the best !!!
Ansett Air Freight Suzuki colours (as ridden by Peter Goddard and Shawn Giles in the ASBK championship in the mid-late 90s) would be interesting
They were nice looking bikes!
A mate of mine in Melbourne painted those bikes......yeah they were/are great looking bikes.
I had the 99 750 and still have the K2 1000.
I think you should keep the original scheme on it to be honest, it's the best one they did on them and will look clean AF with the wheels and all.

Can’t wait to see her on track 👌👌👌

"budget" 🤣🤣
Looks mint though!
Yay about time lol 😆 been waiting for this lol
so how did you build the swing arm? just aded plates to cover the empty spaces and made it as a whole?
HB international-yellow with twin blue and a black stripe -old skool ,awesomely hideous
Love this series
If I didn’t live in New Zealand I’d be getting my work done at JHS for sure.
Ohhhh there she is
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE!!!!!!!!

Just wondering, does the factory swing arm have a specific heat treat for the aluminium to obtain an optimal strength/rigidity/impact resistance and does introducing a weld alter this?
10:20 -- You mean GSXR 600 K4/K5. K6 was a different gen. I think you were thinking of K5/K6 1000 being the same.
Rizla colours ,timeless👌
I see the guys at jhs use tables and have an abba sky lift. Is there and pros/cons to either? Finally getting a garage and trying to decide between both
What's the song in the beginning?
If youre looking at getting it painted with some colourful colours of the 90s, IBS i mean IBM... Bright blue and white with bright blue and white.
Is that front tire the right way up?
