The Samurai’s Forge: Recommissioning the 1989 Suzuki GSX-R1100K

In the heart of The Samurai’s Forge, another legendary machine undergoes a meticulous recommissioning. This time, it's the 1989 Suzuki GSX-R1100K, a beast from the golden era of superbikes, getting some much-needed attention.

One of the key tasks for this project is replacing the brake lines to meet compliance standards. We’ve chosen to fit a fresh set of HEL braided brake lines, sourced from HEL Performance New Zealand. These lines not only restore braking efficiency but also provide a firm, precise feel at the lever—an essential upgrade for a bike of this caliber. Big thanks to the team at NZ HEL Performance for their top-tier service and quality products.

With the new lines in place, the GSX-R1100K is another step closer to hitting the road again. There’s something special about bringing these classic machines back to life, ensuring they perform as they were meant to.

Stay tuned as we continue this journey, breathing new life into Japan’s most iconic superbikes—one bolt, one turn, and one ride at a time.
