Trying to confuse people. I would like to remove this Suzuki emblem from the triple clamp.  Before I mar it up....is it as simple as getting a sharp edge under the emblem and lifting it off?


Yep....just some 2 sided foam tape holding it on.

Try some good dental floss.

Park the bike in the sun to get it warm first.

If floss fails, try monofiliment

Welp.....I am 100% Done with the build......for now.  Hooked up all lights and blinkers.  Added the LED Flasher Module from superbrightleds.com - Part number LF1-S-FLAT.  So much easier than adding resistors.  Thanks for the help.

Took the bike out for a 20 mile test spin.  Everything felt great.  I may need to get the carb rejetted....had a little bit of backfire.  But, will ride it for a bit before I commit to getting the carb work done.

I am not sure about the look of the seat and the huge gap between the frame rails and the seat.  But, I'll ride it this way for the summer and if I decide to make a change to the seat (custom seat hugging the frame rail), I'll do that next winter.

For now....time to enjoy the bike.

I'll post some final pics.

Got my 60's style Bell 500 helmet and goggles to complete the look.
