Picked her up for $300, complete and running, but very ugly and neglected. With my work and school schedule it took me six months to complete. I replaced every bearing and seal, new rubber, chain, and a lot of elboy grease and paint. The seat cowl is from caferace inc out of Colorado, which required some cutting and welding of additional brackets. I decided to go with a single automotive style cone filter just for a unique look. The jetting still needs some tweaking, but overall runs very well for a alomost 30 year old bike.

Well done, Melkman. What did you replace the tank badge with ?

 

[hp1000s]

I like what you've done!

I didnt like the way the suzuki badge looked with the bike, so I simply bought a $4 piece of aluminum from lowes, filed it to shape and then sanded and polished the crap out of it. I originally intended it just to be temporary until I found a badge that I liked, but it has grown on me, and I think i will keep it.

Seriously? Wow; that's so cool that I would have never thought of it.
Very cool!

SmoreGrava keep them pics coming, I need to do something with my seat area. Gonna carve up my seat foam and to get something similar to a Corbin or Sargeant for now and in winter do something like you did.

Here is one more pic from other side. I get a lot comments on my seat. Only Aluminium plates. Looks bad I think and actually no problem to sit on because they are quite large. But passanger seat is close to torture.

Patrickmcp your bike looks really cool. Kind a same style as mine actually. But mine has no finnish at all. It's more of a rat with a cool look. What was your front fork from? I belive your bike would be perfect with a 916 seat.

patrickmcp:

What kind of muffler/can is that? Looks good!

 

[steve murdoch]

here is mine

4?" extensions, air shifter, fat tire AND a license plate. Cool bike!
Stet, what ammo do you have in that brute?

Looks like a Supertrap to me.

Stetracer: nice mean looking bike, looks like an industrial Howitzer

Smoregrava: I agree about the tail, but I was thinking early 2000's GSXR 1000 tail, depends what I find for the price and looks. Did you have to cut up the seat rails? Front end is '96 GSXR1100.

Mixongw: Supertrapp 10" total length, 4" body, 2" inlet and it's stainless steel, tunable and sounds great, I can adjust my backpressure and sound.
