Cafe-XV750
Been Around the Block
1972 Suzuki T500 Titan - 500cc two-stroke twin.
Not even halfway done on my cafe XV750 and I buy another bike! This was a craigslist deal that was too good to pass up. Rough and ratty, but salvageable. Previous owner had rebuild the engine and says it ran great and is quick. Very stiff racing style clutch. As you can see, he started to cafe it - will continue with it.
As-purchased 9/4/09
The clubmans are now on my XV750 ... will likely get another set for this bike. Haven't decided yet if I'm going to use the oil tank (all there) or premix. Exhaust will likely get replaced with chambers and I need to fab up some rearsets.
Now in-process of just gathering up the obvious parts and coming up with my plan to start the build.
Updates to follow ... let me know what you think.
