My dad gave me his old '75 Suzuki T500. I used to go on dates with this bike, but it's been in a shed since 1989. I thought I would create a build project here since I'm sure I will have a ton of questions as I go. My 16 year old son and my father-in-law are helping and none of us really know what we are doing! I'm putting it in the Special category since I'm not 100% sure how far I'll go with it at this stage. Here are the things I would like to do on this first rebuild.
Now that we know that it runs, this past weekend, we tore it apart. It's down to a bare frame and we are looking for a good place to have it blasted. If anyone is interested, I'll continue to post our progress here.
- New Paint Scheme
- Cafe Racer Seat
- Lowered Handlebars
- New Minimized Front Fender
- Shortened Back Fender
