So, what were we thinking?

The idea is simple, take one of our heavy hitting industrial strength Mutts and send him to a gentleman's class to learn a little about courteous conduct and give him the tools required for longer road use.

The first step is a bigger tank. For sure our regular tank is plenty big enough, but the GT-SS boasts a whopping 17 litre tank specifically designed for this bike and the Mutt Mastiff. As with all our bikes we wanted to retain the classic Brit bike lines, and this is no exception. We spent a lot of time making sure the new bigger tank blended in with the classic line of a Mutt.

Topped off with a beautiful chrome Monza style cap the new bigger tank not only looks just peachy but it also means you won't have to stop for gas for a long, long ride.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Look closer and you'll see some super neat little details on the GT-SS, we've got those super cool machined LED indicators, CNC machined headlight brackets, satin finished aluminium  fork caps and head stem nut and those sharp as you like  black anodised handlebar clamps (These details are not on these prototype photos so check out this puppy in the flesh at your local dealer).

To accentuate that new mile munching tank, we went for a retro gloss black and off white paint scheme, that paint scheme continues down on to the high gloss black side panels. Classic black grips match the beautiful, contoured black seat which is hand finished and specific to the GT-SS.

NEW FEATURES

All new Mutt’s have few little subtle upgrades that you may not notice at first but take a closer look and you'll see some nifty little touches you won't see on other bikes.

First off, we have new LED indicators hewn from a solid block of aluminium by the process of CNC and mounted on a machined stainless steel arm. We’ve also now got machined aluminium headlight brackets too, that set up makes for a pretty tidy front end.

Moving back a bit we get to the handlebar clamps, we now have fully CNC'd clamps coated in a super durable hard anodised black finish.

As always with Mutt Motorcycles we use the skills we learned building one off custom motorcycles and machined aluminium is one of those cool processes that gives a motorcycle a true custom look. Machined fork caps and head stem nut, once again coated in a beautiful anodised finish, combined with the new speedometer surround this provides a beautifully finished view when glancing down at your speed.

One of our favourite new touches requires a bit more scrutiny, kneel down and take a look at the motor, we have a new CNC oil filter cap but look a little closer and you'll see some new machined valve covers on top of the engine reminiscent of 60's and 70's Brit bikes. That’s a little detail not everyone sees straight away but we like it.

Sat in our classic twin shock tube frame the bullet proof GN engine is fuel injected for extra poke and of course this Mutt has a 5-speed box, neutral indicator, electric start and everything else you would expect to find on the controls of a modern bike.
