[GSRIDERINBLACK]

My father and I had this bike 13years ago then he sold it to his close friend that only road it for 500miles! The bike has sat for 13years in a barn on a dirt floor with a caved in roof and no cover. The poor suzi has been waiting to be saved by us is in need of some love and prolly a few new sets of pads, tires and damn near everything else so let the rebuild begain! UM how do i poast pic on this site?

The easiest way to post pictures (10 max in a post) is to host them on something like Photobucket, and copy/paste the IMG code into your posts.

Looking forward to seeing your find.

well heres whats up on the reunite with my ol zoomsuki, Shes now up on the lift and ready for a make over brake, tires, plugs/wires, paint, some trick clubman bars, the all important carb rebuild, new seat coming from a old norton we have laying around, and prolly a few modern parts just to make some people say "why is it like that?'', but the end result will be a nice smooth powerful half cafer half vintage sport tourer. Im now heading to photo bucket so i can figure out this image posting thing.

Yeah it was a deffinet kick in the nuts walking up to that hellhole finding this bike slumped over in a pile of trash. But since then i have grabed my old vance&hines slipon that was on my 89ninja and have that all nice and ready to be thrown on, We thought it was a good idea to see if the tires would hold air so the compresser was turned on and wouldent ya know they do. So now it atleast rolls befor that the brakes were frozen up the tires were flat spoted and we had to drag the thing out of the dirt floor. But ANYWAYS next move is to clean the carbs to see what little mouse built its house in there or if we got lucky the carbs will need a good cleaning with a new battery then fire it up give it the juice and see what shakes lose! Oh forgot to mention the trick seat of the norton thats going on!
