Suzuki GT185 build
So this project started in mid 2013 sometime when I brought a bike I knew little about from ebay for about $80. I brought it for the disk brake front end, I planned to use it on another project bike. Soon I realised that that the other project wasn’t worth the time and effort and started to look at the rolling wreck that I had brought. Some googling later and I realised that it was a Suzuki GT185 2 banger and that it wasn’t really a common bike. It had no tank, seat, lights (unbroken or working) snapped handlebars, had been sitting outside for some time (read as years), rear guard bent out of shape, engine was seized and the bike could be classed a general basket case. Picture below with front end and exhausts off.
