Thanks for that. I'm taking it a day at a time. So I went to look at a 1981 GS650L shaftie to be used as a parts bike. Got it up for $100. Although I'd already picked up GS650 top end parts from various sellers on ebay to be used on the GS550... picking up a complete donor motor for those same...

Well... I said in my above post that this was going to be a very s-l-o-w project... and so it will continue to be. A week an a half after posting I was out riding one of my bikes when I was broadsided by an elderly 81 year old driver in a SUV who didn't see me. The last time I was hit was back...

Thank you.

Time travel to the summer of '84... nineteen year old me with my new 1983 GS550E. :)

Maybe one more?...

Another of my ongoing projects...

Class of 6X? Picked this critter up last summer. Seller had it listed as a '69 Suzuki T200. VIN tag lists it as a T200, number 120xx. Haven't been able to determine it's exact year yet. Tank doesn't seem to be original to the T200 lineup... may have come off a T200 Scrambler Stingray. This...

A couple of pics from the 'Class of 72'. Neither are currently running, but both have good compression and turn over. Projects for later down the road. TS185 - T250 -

Thanks. I'm 54 so retirement is still a bit down the road... unless I win a lottery (which I've never played).
