Thanx !

Bike already looks a lot better than in the posted pictures.

Ordered a set of black CNC levers, white indicator lenses, and a set of black CNC preload adjusters.
Shortened the rear fender, polished the generator cover and a lot of other parts, and cleaned the motor, and everything under the seat.

Got rid off the wrong GSX1400 badges on the tail piece, and removed a wrong and damaged carbon like tank pad thing.

Next on the list : a lot more polishing..., especially the front forks, and the ignition cover, and I have to order a set of bar end mirrors, like the ones on the Speed Triple.

Good photos as always.

Looking at the silencers - the exit holes look very small for a large capacity bike?

If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works ..... :?

...fitted a homemade oilcooler protection, and mounted a set of bar end mirrors, and a oil temperature gauge, polished a bit more, and put in a set of new steering head bearings...

...made two tiny brackets for both horns...
...and the horns are now fitted under the head lamp, instead of in front of the petrol tank...

...and I cut myself a few Japanese signs saying Suzuki...

...just a few other (not bike related) plans for the future...
...and for these plans I need some (extra) storage space in the garage...

...took me 4 months to decide ; Sportboxer, or Suzuki... :shock:
Have a nice day !
