That is really a "restomod"-job to be proud of The parts you have chosen really compliments the lines and curves, and gives the bike an updated classic look with a modern touch. Nice rear shocks too, which is often an overlooked item. I see you have push-button controls, are they connected via a Mo.unit (or M.unit of it's older)?

[Guest]

Thank You Rich,
that's much better.

yes, all the wiring is new with a M unit.

[unfocused]

Which rear shocks are those and do you like them...?

[Suzukian]

Definnitely a much improved motorcycle. It has a nice look. I don't like the "L" models, but you have taken al the "L" out of this.

[Paint It Black]

You’ve made a nice job of that,
your Dad would be proud of you

[Nessism]

Very nice indeed. Are those YSS shocks?

[eil]

I'm usually not a huge fan of modded bikes but I have to say that is quite an improvement over what it was before. I'd ride it for sure.

Nice work, Skeller.

[Suzukian]

I just noticed the frame isn't black. It looks great!! I also like the fork covers. They really do protect the forks, and they add a look to the bike that really fits.

I hope those headers are going to be replaced/refurbished before long, because you know how well exhaust tape ages.

[Suzukian]

You just keep re-wrapping them, then eventually, you have an exhaust made entirely of exhaust wrap.
