    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.

This is my third restoration, the other two were Honda's and I put them back 100% stock. Since I plan on keeping the 850 I decided to take a different approach. Going to be very little chrome or shiny metal to care for. I found an old Wixom fairing in very good condition and was going to paint it, but the original white buffed out quite nicely so white it will stay.

After a winter of tearing apart and refurbishing the assembling has began on the new Suzuki 850 “Dark” model. New Shinko tires, front forks rebuilt with new Sonic springs as well as new Hagon shocks. Carbs have been rebuilt with GEN-U-WINE Suzuki parts and Robert’s o-rings, all new rubber mounts and intake boots are waiting. I have all of the parts needed to upgrade the charging system and braking systems have been rebuilt with goodies from Suzuki and Earl’s. Tossed in new clutch springs just for giggles.

Stock exhausts cleaned up and installed. May be ready for a test firing soon. Bike has been running too lean and darkened the head pipes. No wonder, intake had more leaks than Trump’s White House.
