Get this bike done...I see a 'bike of the month' nomination in your future.![]()
Looks really nice so far!
That looks great. Better than stock.
very true.True, it may take the I want 100% stock folks off the list but you also used powder coat and other things they won't like anyway.
I used Thai rims/spokes as well with vapor blasted hubs. For this small bike, I wasn't concerned with getting Thai parts. Buying new rims and stainless spokes would have cost hundreds more.
no doubt powder saves a TON of money. The difference between a couple hundred bucks versus a couple thousand bucks. Not to mention its durable as hell.Looks awesome. I'm still plugging away at my Baby Dream. Wish I had gone with powder coating in some ways - might have saved me a bundle of money![]()
I’m also “saving” a Suzuki GT 185 , albeit in a different way. It’s in the cafe racer build section. It was too rough , and it was missing too many parts for a restoration , so it’s getting the cafe treatment. These little Suzuki two strokes are fun and super easy to work on.Very nice! I rarely see any of the smaller Suzuki street bikes at shows. I'm glad you are saving one!
