    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      All cleaned up and repainted. Looks pretty decent. Chain guard and pipes cleaned up nice too. All Im missing is a headlight bulb and waiting on brake pads to arrive so I can mount the front caliper and bleed the system.

        Looks real nice, Chuck. Good job on the painting and striping, too. "L" haters might have to change their tune a bit on this one..

          Larry..Ls are just too small for my huge azz...but i couldnt pass on it for 300.00. I enjoyed resurrecting her and taking care of the failing OEM paint. So nowmits get the title issue taken care of and sell her to an appreciative home.

                That's a very nice and clean bike you have there. Nice job ��. If your in need of a headlight , I have one that might fit if you interested , it's a seven inch build off a 82 Suzuki GS 650, I'm new to these Suzuki GS motorcycles so I'm not all up on what is inner changeable

                  I will have to measure the beauty ring to see what size the bulb is.

                    Short of the 5 1/2 inch headlight bulb she is done. Took it for a 20 mile run today and ran great. That little twin hits near 6000 RPMs at 65 MPH!! Gonna be a fun little bike for someone.
