Hi Everyone, I am new to the Vintage bike scene, but I have been wanting a project for quite some time and love 2 strokes, so I just acquired a 1974 Suzuki GT250 Hustler. I love the site, and I am looking to learn as much as I can and contribute what I already know.
I acquired the bike with a title (belonged to my friend), it ran 4 years ago, due to a divorce he left the bike sitting at the ex wifes house for 4 years, he also didn't take care of it well. He bought it from the original owner a few years before that who ran it from time to time. The bike is in great shape (not missing anything) but needs EVERYTHING updated. It currently does not run (22k miles), its not seized up, but no compression on the 1st cylinder so I will be rebuilding the engine.
At the moment I acquired a spare tank, the original tank had a dent, and I found a perfect one for $20 (with rust) so I just finished the POR-15 rusty tank process today, and will be painting next week. Anyway, ill be posting up my project soon!
