Hey guys, I just recently bought a Suzuki Gs 450 Sport. I have always been fascinated with Cafe Racers. Now is my opportunity to own and build slowly modify one. I have soo many ideas just flowing in my brain. So I am creating this thread to bounce then off other members and chronicle my adventure. Please keep reading. Sorry if it is too long of a intro post. I am just soo excited about this build.
Heres my current picture of the project.
Mods so far:
Clip on Bars
and a whole lotta' stuff removed. (signals, gauges, head light fairing, and side covers)
Mods to be completed within the next month or so:
Cafe Racer Style Seat tail (trying to make one for a 2 up, since I have a deal with the wifey! lol )
Exhaust will be header wraped
Go Lower
A 120 tire in the rear on stock GS wheel (has this been done?) Right now Im running a 110.
Get a Speedometer (magnetic type) Right now Currently running a Garmin GPS
My Paint Scheme:
Red Tank and tail
Matte Gold Frame (maybe? what ya think)
Gloss Black Wheels
Matte Black the engine and surrounding area
My Super Brainstorm ideas (will need help with this).... Will prob. happen in the down season...
Late 90's Era GSXR 600 Swingarm and rear wheel
Havent really thought about what I should do about the front suspension.
Maybe a different tank ( I just love the way my tank is long)
Drag Bars?
Dont get me wrong, I know you guys are going to say why not just go out and buy a Gixxer then. Well...I dont want to. Sport bikes not really my thing. I love they way old school bikes look. I just want to beef up the suspension and tires....
Thank You guys in advance. DTT is a awesome site. Im glad I found it.
