Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers underway)
Thanks for all the kind words
. I am trying to get hold of silencers from TZ Mike but I am not having any luck finding an email address to contact him on, does anyone have contact info. I know he is on flickr but I am not smart enough to figure out how to make contact through that site.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers underway)
Thanks!
Now I can begin to strip everything down and finish welding the rearset hangers and side stand bracket to the frame, also modify the steering stop for more lock. Frame should be ready for painting then, of course I am thinking of a different color for the frame now which is causing a dilema. All along I was going to go with a gloss black frame and swing arm, now I am thinking of doing it silver as it might look good with the brushed aluminum finish of the tank and seat... we will see, who knows I may go for somthing completely different! For sure the wheels will be gloss black and maybe the triple clamps satin black. The cylinder heads will most likely be gold to tie in with the footpegs and calipers.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers finished)
really love what you have done with it. Imo,the silver would not give contrast to your beautiful alloy work. maybe a dark grey or something along those lines would flow with it all but not blend with the alloy.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (expansion chambers finished)
I would keep the swingarm unpainted and just paint the frame. Even the orange of your shock absorber would make a good colour for your frame. I think you could go with a darker grey frame or a contrasting colour on this beauty. Man o man, I wish I could do work like you.

Thx for the kind words.
I am for sure leaning towards black metalflake powder for the frame now. I need to do some research on what's available now, I'd like it to have big pieces of silver flake in it but now sure yet what is possible. Something like this pic but with bigger flakes.
