Suzuki GR650 - back to work...

Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Thanks Chris. Eventually I'll swap out the steel fender for a glass one. But that will be much later.....
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Talked to my neighbor yesterday. He got the black sprayed on the tank and seat:

Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

I've been lurking your build thread for a while now, starting to get really exciting! I've got a GS that I'm going to start collecting parts for and your build is great motivation.
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Looks so good. Gloss black at its finest! You seem to work better under stress, good luck!
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......


Shiney stuff there, mate! Looking good, I agree that work under pressure is good for you! ;D
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Ha! Thanks guys. Pressure isn't that bad......it's the lack of parts that kills me!

When I was talking to my neighbor, he was worried about taping the black off for the red paint. I said forget the red paint for now.....can always do it later.

And thanks Bone Daddy- it's tough trying to make a decent looking bike out of an ugly duckling like a GR.......
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

That black is like a mirror - seriously shiny paint! That ought to look the business all put together, Rich.
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Thanks Chris. Oddly enough my neighbor doesn't do paint/body work for a living even though he should. Sound like anybody else we know? ;D

I was talking to my sister in law today and she pointed out that there are 13 days til the wedding. Out of those days, I have to work 4 of them. Still have to set up the rear set linkages, get some lines for the front calipers mounted up, pad the seat, and set up the carbs. If the carbs don't come in by this Tuesday afternoon, I'm just gonna pull the CV's from another bike. It's getting to the point that I can't keep waiting for those VM32's to get here.......

I will sit in my shed, drink my beer, and and tell you to keep up the good work over the telephone too. Ha.
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......


Oooh, count me in! I will sit here at my computer and drink beer and wait for updates!
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Can I get in on this beer drinking, commenting thing? Sounds like fun! Only I am working right now so I can't drink beer till later ;D

Keep up the great work, killer job on the paint, I see why you waited for him to do it!
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

I'm drinking coffee.......I only drink after 12 noon......haha
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Honestly Joe, I have no idea. The guy has been doing body work for so long I think there's a few screws loose upstairs.......he kinda rambles on about things and changes the subject often.


Got the right side figured out - still needs finished up but I'll get that done later.

Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Hey! HAHA...I recognize that linkage too......
Looks like that side fit up ok.
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Ha! Yeah, it's a little shorter since you saw it last though. The shifter linkages that I have are way too short, so I just ordered some longer ones. Had I not cut off the original shifter mount, I could have run GP shift very easily. Oh well.
 
Re: Suzuki GR650- Crunch time.......

Carbs, throttle cable, boots, and K&N dual filter installed:
