Deals Gap Gamma

#1 Post by ns86 » Thu Jun 24, 2021 4:28 pm

Anyone recognize this bike?

Just picked this up the other day. It did an annual week long pilgrimage to the Tail of the Dragon through the 90's. It was Registered in Pensylvania at the time. It has been ported/polished/jetted, has Wolf pipes, 17" Marchesini Mags, Fox Shock, GSXR USD front end, WP rotors, Nissin front calipers, Brembo rear caliper, Braced swingarm, Rearsets, Stainless lines, and 2nd and 6th updated Tranny gears.

It has VJ21 type front fairing presently which I will probably change. No passenger pegs so it's getting a solo seat.

Sadly it isn't one of Rick's handywork, rather was built by a Tuner Shop in Quebec around 1990. Owner had a desire to have his idea of the ultimate street Gamma built for his yearly laps taming the Dragon. Well sorted, nicely built, and a Stage 1 Tune @ 110hp

I prefer this look compared to the VJ21 upper that’s on mine. It matches the transition between the 250/500 panels nicely and works well with the lower clip-on position mounted below the upper triple clamp
Below is an example of a blended front fairing: RGV250 VJ22 upper and RG500 sides and belly pan.
