Hi everyone! I ran across this site yesterday and havnt gottn off of it....I fliped through post after post even while I was at work..lol sooo I thought I would get up this morning and actually sign up. First off would like to say this is a pretty nice site. Everyone seems to throw in when they can and it also has a varity of different "styles" too...
anyways....

It started with a small post on Craigslist..no picture not alot of information....Contacted the guy by email, could not get him to call me..finially got a date to drive but 100 miles away to go look at this bike w no pictures, information, or even a price...got out to his house and fell in love w it. I saw lots of potention(and money lol). He flat out told me the bike stop runing the night before and when it did had a horriable leak that he didnt know where it came from...Really started worrying..Made a lowball offer the guy agreed....took the key from him and tried to start it and BAM fired right off from cold...she wanted me Grin

To make a long story short (actually only 3 weeks ago) got it home messed around with it..caught the top\inside Shocked

of the tranny on fire bc of the oil leak and then the teeth on the started sheared off....BOY I was so excited!!! Cheesy

Within two days I had stripd everything off the bike and by the one week the motor was out and IT ALL STARTED!

Im gonna start getting the pictures up hopefully today and get caught up to date...

Try some 'NeverDull' on that chrome. You can get it for about $4 at Wallyworld. Makes short work of some of that . Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks everyone so far... I try to get some pictures of the "new" frame up tommarow, tring to get my wheels painted up today, and other than that Im not going to post any more chrome pictures up, you all know what dirty and clean chrome looks like Grin

On a side note...I am very impressed with the chrome that Suzuki used on their bikes. Matter of fact Im always impressed by Suzuki. The main reason every motorized thing Ive owned, bikes, 4wheelers, etc has been made by suzuki...
