Kia ora from NZ

[Willdat?]

This is my GT200 as purchased, I was directed over here from oldschool.co.nz

This is more or less as it sits today

Plus milled bar mounts and lower intruments/headlight

At the moment I'm chasing electrical gremlins and making it look pretty!

THAT is a cool piece!

Awesome to see another kiwi on here!

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland

Enjoy the last of the sunshine while it is here!

Hey man, welcome to DTT. Nice little Suzuki stroker. Are you planning on doing much more to it?

Nelson, it's always sunny here!

As of yesterday I've sourced a proper X5 side cover for the LHS, adjusted the gauge mounts so they're parallel to the milled top yoke, prepped and painted a metallic blue and installed 'retro' Suzuki badges on the side of the tank.

Still to do...find my lost spark (new CDI and coil haven't found it yet, next stop is a new stator).
Figure out some mid set pegs as the ergos aren't that flash with the clip ons.
I'd also like to figure out a way of giving the seat/tail a cleaner look while maintaining my pillion pegs...

Here's an old pic of my X5 200 with a Honda CG125 engine in it. The X5 seized so I used the CG engine in it as it was super reliable. I used to use it to get to college and work, had some fun times. Gave it away as I didn't think I would be riding bikes ever again, wish I'd kept it now

Fantastic! I've heard there are some great roads through that way! Hoping to do a ride of the south island next summer, if i do i will have to try call past and see what you have done to the bike by then.

Welcome to DTT! That's a rad little bike. Makes me miss my RD200 even more.

As it looks as of yesterday!

There is some ridiculously good roads around here, just a shame that I can't ride at the moment due to that run away spark, visitors always welcome!
