Oh yeah, much more getup than the moped... although I did have to take it out for a ride to ease the pain of setback. I sanded down the repair epoxy and I think it's ready for a coat of primer, I may just throw it back on the bike after that and ride it that way until I have time to paint it...

LOVE the colors, looks sharp!

Looks sweet! Good find too!

A lot has happened in the last year. Year 1 of grad school is complete and year 2 starts on Monday. I've had a chance to do a few things to the Suzi and I even got to ride it a bit. But every time things look good something sets me back again. I got the electronics put back together, the seat...

Re: Suzi Q - GR650 Project - Dents Are Done! Actually it has gotten put on hold...more than once. I was in the process of painting when I decided to go back to grad school. The paint process I chose was kind of an experiment. I mixed enamel with acetone and rolled it on. This turned out to have...

Wow, with all that surface area for stickers I could break a land speed record! Beyond cool is a place that I wish to go someday. I've been considering lately how a 3/4 fairing would look on it, I just don't have time or money right now for that, maybe in the future. What I do have right now...

Re: My Suzi T500 Project Oooo! I've been waiting so long for you to start the tank! I would love to try something like this! Amazing work by the way!

I messed with the idle screw and got it to start no problem. I took the screw a full turn in and it was idling a little fast but not bad. I backed it out half a turn and took it out for a spin. It seemed to run just fine. Maybe it was a minor overheating. I'm gonna do a plug chop to figure out...

Thanks for the compliments guys! I took it out for a ride today and was having a great time! There's this great hill close to my place and my speedo (not sure on accuracy) read close to 60mph. If that is the case then Hooray! I hit the Half Ton! Well, the very next stop sign proved to quell my...

Re: QT50 Yamahopper Cafe - It's Scootin' Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I was busy moving to Ohio. And I've been without internet for a week. We have managed to get the bike to a really good point. Cloudrider found a fender when he was in California that I cut up and mounted...

Re: QT50 Yamahopper Cafe - New Engine In! It's so close! We got a few things finished yesterday. It finally has a center stand, no more wood block. It took us 2 hours to modify the old center stand. We had to keep changing it due to the new muffler being lower. I distressed the tank and...

Saint Motor Company designed a seat for an XS650 that is pretty sweet IMO. You would probably have to fabricate a pan and upholster it yourself though. http://www.saintmotorgallery.com/xs650-cafe#3

I like it!

Re: QT50 Yamahopper Cafe - It's the little things (Videos Pg. 11) We started putting the engine back together yesterday evening. We got everything out in the driveway, set it up and got one crank bearing in, then there was a flash rainstorm :o We quickly gathered everything and put it in the...

Re: QT50 Yamahopper Cafe - It's Alive!!! Working on all the little things we need to get done. Grips and mirrors installed. Key switch installed.

Re: QT50 Yamahopper Cafe - It's Alive!!! Hadn't thought about it. Maybe we can make a frame and stretch fabric over it for the fairing! Actually we wanna save as much weight as possible so probably a no on the fairing
