    That makes total sense on this one. Seems to be pretty complete. From looking at the pictures, the pipes and exhaust actually look real nice under the dust. The fenders will be easier being painted then chrome, too. Might have to invest in a good media blaster room for your shop, eh....?

    Does the engine turn over and have compression?

      Wish you were painting, did a compression check at 150psi on both cylinders so we should be good.

          Nice save, Joe. A little tapping with a small hammer, and it'll look good as new.

            I've got a '68 scrambler (tc250) and my son has a '66 that are future projects. I'm still hoarding parts... Took over a year to find the center crank seals, connecting rods for these are the same as the rods in a 380 tripple, Suzuki still has some. Wix makes a car air cleaner element that works in the stock air box, i'll look it up and pm the number to you, nobody i know of sells or makes one for these.

                Hey, King, would you mind adding me to your list?

                Not sure when I am going to get to it, but I hope to start on my wife's '69 Scrambler sometime.

                        I'm quite sure when Joe is done with this..it'll look every bit as nice as the one on the link. The only change I would make from stone stock, is lower bars. I really don't like the stock bars.

                          I put a set of Honda CB72-77 low bars on mine, found out later that the last page of the T20 parts manual had not only the Suzuki version (with holes for the switch wiring harness) as well as shorter cables!
