hey guys,
thanks for the replies. I bought the bike from a friend of mine; long story short..the bike was serviced, got new chain and rear tyre in 1995, and then the owner died. The bike has been in a heated garage ever since. We took it out this week.
Rear shockers need resto, some aluminum needs polishing, and ofcourse a big service/new battery/brakejob. But for the rest...the bike is tits!!

+1 to contacting member BigRich. There isn't anything Suzuki has made that he hasn't made better.

Must have been a very nice barn because that bike is in great shape.

to be honest, it was a in-house garage where the bike had been, under a carpet.

Welkom Marcel.

That is an awesome find. The bike looks great.

If you are after a brake upgrade a memeber on GSR has created a twin pot upgrade for the front end. Let me know if you want any more info.

Good to see another big Suzuki on here.

You guys are killing me. The peanut gallery......

Welcome to DTT man. That is a sharp bike for sure. Brodie is right about the twin pot upgrade - but you could also swap out the entire front end for a modern one. Better forks, brakes, tire selections, etc are all benefits. And a matching rear wheel is "easy" to fit too.

b.t.w...she shares a garage with my other love, a 1963 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge.
( Not really motorbikerish, but i thought you'd like it )

Love that Max Wedge Fury. I'm a B-body guy too. I've got a 70 Roadrunner 383 car that's early in it's resto. Have you checked out the forbbodiesonly.com forum site? Lots of great guys on there too.

That GSX is definitely killer too.
