Asakawa Speed

Mr. Asakawa used to be the lead mechanic for one of the Yoshimura Racing teams. He now runs a speed shop on the outskirts of Yokohama, and is noted as one of Japan's top Suzuki tuners. When I showed up, they were working on a Wes Cooley Special. However, since it was a customer's bike, they were not comfortable with me taking pictures of that bike (or any other customer's bike) without getting the customer's permission first, so all you'll see here are bikes owned by Asakawa Speed.
