            I take it you're not going to raise the suspension? I bet you could fit a monoshock swingarm in there.

              yeah, I just like drinking and wrenching with some good music in the background, whatever happens, happens.

              too much work for now, I just want something to throw around, this one was in rough condition so it kinda deterred me from building a cafe.

                  Fellow workin at West Haven cycle salvage in CT rides a twin Suzi (300, 400, 425, I forget) he converted to a dual-purpose-ish bike. Rides it to the shop YEAR round, has knobbies for the snow and all. Neat bike. Good luck with yours.

                    any pics?

                    this will definitely be a year round bike.

                        gonna make some gussets, made the templates




                        both sides, back half of the bike and some type of neck gusset. the other frame that's hardtailed had 2 cracks on the back end so I don't want to chance it (one of the reasons it got hacked up)
