1968 Suzuki T500 Cobra

There is a place on the east coast that does mail in plating. A shoebox cost a little more than you paid but it was the same deal. Send it in dirty and get it back shiny. I think it's Parker metal finishing in North Carolina.

Crank back from Bill Bune. New seals and o-rings. Bearings checked out OK and were lubed up.

About $240 after shipping. If bearings would have been needed, the price would have doubled.
 
I decided to polish the domes while I'm waiting for the other parts to come in.

The seat is coming along nicely. Brand new suede. It sure helps to know a professional upholsterer.

Finally some more movement on this one.

Pipes arrived from the UK yesterday. Unfortunately, one cannot find OEM pipes in good condition anymore, so I've had to make a few compromises on the project. This has turned a bit more into an OEM+ kind of build. I'm hoping the pipes will still look at home on the Cobra, though.
