Matthew Reeves knows wiring. As an electrician by trade, he understands that clean routing isn’t just about looks — it’s about reliability. That mindset carried straight into his garage, where his GSX project became a rolling lesson in perseverance, problem-solving, and the kind of wiring that makes old bikes feel new again.
This wasn’t a showroom build. It was a budget project, rattle-can paint in a dusty garage, carbs pulled off for the tenth time, and a few ear-splitting flame tests along the way. But that’s the point: AFTR isn’t about perfection. It’s about heart. And Matthew’s GSX has plenty of it.
From fuel leaks that stripped engine paint, to redundant wiring eliminated with an NWT unit, to late-night troubleshooting calls that turned frustration into sparks — this build proves that the best bikes aren’t born flawless. They’re born from persistence, community advice, and the willingness to “cock it up and try again.”
This is AFTR. A spotlight on builders like Matthew who push boundaries, learn by doing, and remind us that every imperfection is part of the ride.
