Got a few more things from AZR today

Nice stock(?)covered seat,some seat trim I need to fix and even a grab bar.


Even if it's a seat with a later pattern cover I'm pretty happy

That seat looks good! Did you mean to post the same pic three times tho or am I missing something?

In the OP to this thread I said this was going to be a resto-mod.As things are going along it seems more resto than mod.The only mods are going 4>1 and double discs instead of a single.Really what was Suzuki thinking,a 1000cc bike with a single?GS400's of that time had the same brakesGot this seat becuase it didn't "line up right"on AZR's bike.Found the problem,one of the hinges that bolt to the seat was not striaght where it bolts to the seat(actually it studs but that sounds weird).A bit of vice work got it straight again.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Nice!


Just that is too short to post so I need to put more in...

[chuck hahn]

I think yopu are gonna be more pleased with a resto, than a mod version..and it will be worth more in the end run as well. Like that guy in the for sale adds said..10,000 to 14,000 overseas!! HA HA

Yeah you are right.Only real things that will probaly not get back to stock is the pipes.Not enough good ones out there and I have not got the $ to get a set.That and I like the sound of a 4>1 on these old bikes.

Took me a year to find a "decent" set of stock pipes. About 10-15 hours cleaning em up and they're still only decent.
They look good on the surface but when ya look really hard you can see the blems.
They work though.

And the $ for them?Still think if I can get a set of header pipes I'll get a buddy to weld them up to use those Dunstalls I have.

As luck would have it they were just under $100, shipped.
