Snow, the other white drug.
After lurking and learning for a few months since I bought my bike I figured I would join up and show everyone how far she's come. I was looking for a small cheap project bike to build over the winter and become my first street bike in the spring. After trolling craigslist for a month, I picked up a 1985 Suzuki gs300l for $200. She was a pretty tortured soul, with a half assed paint job, hacked wiring, and silver spray paint over most of the polished aluminum. After I sorted the wiring and a good carb clean and rebuild she fired up. But there's jetting issues seeing as I'm running pods cause the air box was MIA and the mufflers rotted off. She got a tank from a gs450 (old one had a half assed welded fix), a trimmed and recovered seat and a set of drag bars. There's still a ways to go before she's running right, and this is my first bike so I'll have a bunch of questions. I'm good with two stroke snowmobiles but relatively new to four strokes. (I really, really wanted a GT250) So the yellow monstrosity is the day I brought it home and after a month of tinkering this is what I have. She still has a long way to go and I'm hoping this forum can help me make this thing respectable again.
