1981 Suzuki GS 450 EX Cafe Racer Project

[Guest]

Hello fellow bike enthusiasts! My plan is to restore old and rusted out parts and replace them as well as turn it into a cafe. This is actually an older picture of when I first uncovered the bike. Currently the bike is fully dissembled and I'm wondering what needs to be done first. I plan on getting it sandblasted but I want the frame to be prepared for whatever seat I buy. I plan on getting a seat from Dime City Cycles but would like to know if there are any other websites that sell parts as well as seats at a lower price. My budget on this project is $1,000 so any tips or advice that could save me a couple bucks is much appreciated!

Hey Mate,
Good luck with your bike and as for seats depending on what you like this Guy http://stores.ebay.com.au/BRON-MOTO?...p2047675.l2563 has all sorts of goodies. I think all back ends/seats come without drilled holes or sanded down fiberglass so you can drill and set to your liking. Ebay is always a good source to check.
