    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I had them on my blue 78 back in the 80's. Very nice tire for the times

Off to the coin car wash with that thing (take off the dash and side covers first)

You can get a manual on line from BassCliff and that site has most of the basic restoration procedures you'll need

Thanks for the warm welcome and the fast responses on the pictures I posted. When my new shop is built I will get started on this project. Last project bike I had was a 1986 Yamaha RZ500 (kept all the stock parts but...) It had gsxr wheels and forks, OPP Racing fiberglass for a ZX-7RR race bike and a few other little changes, looked really good and was a blast to ride. Had it for 9 years, now sold :( should have kept it.

Either way you've got a good looking start there and if you keep the same theme it should be a nice ride.
 
Ya, I think I'll keep the same theme, maybe modernize it a bit as it isn't an original 'S'. It's got the aluminum swing arm, the 'S' dash and I can always get a proper reproduction faring from Airtech. Now for motor work....:D A good friend of mine is a Red Seal Certified Tech and a Suzuki guru! time for some power mods. I'll most likely use the GSX-R forks I have from and '86 for it but may go new school front and rear wheels with upside-downs. Oh the possiblities, and not being a rare 4 cyclinder 2 stroke like my last bike, it's WAY easier to change things when there isn't 4 expansion chambers getting in the way! WOO-HOO!!
 
The stripes under your seat are wrong.Your shocks are correct but your swingarm is not.The side covers look the goods.Tank's wrong and the fairings been cut.I think you've got a clone , but if you have the correct dash ............. ? To my knowledge , the 'S's were only made '79 and '80 .Maybe you've got a wrecked one that has been put back together around a "different" frame ???? You could try checking the engine number to see if that gives you more of an insight.Also a pic of the complete bike might help.Cheers,Simon.:-k
