HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT MY SALE/AUCTION.  PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AS SELLER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT GO OUT OF THE WAY TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE IN MY DESCRIPTIONS. THIS BIKE CAME MY WAY MORE OR LESS BY ACCIDENT, MY FRIEND, THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BOUGHT THIS AS RESTORATION PRODUCT AS HE LOVES HIS OLD SUZUKIS.  NOW OWN IT AND DUE TO MANY OTHER PROJECTS AM LISTING IT FOR SALE. WHEN HE BOUGHT THE BIKE IT WAS GOOD RUNNER BUT WAS VERY TATTY. THE BIKE WAS STRIPPED AND ALL THE FRAME, YOKES, AIR FILTER, BATTERY BOX, ETC.ETC. POWDER COATED IN GLOSS BLACK. IN TOTAL 25 ITEMS POWDER COATED BLACK. THE SWINGING ARM AND BRAKE ARM WERE POWDER COATED IN SILVER HOW EVER NO ONE HAD NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER PILLION BRACKETS HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ARM. HAVE NEW SWINGING ARM BUSHES BUT HAVE NOT FITTED THESE TO THE SWINGING ARM IN CASE THE BUYER WANTS TO SWOP THE SWINGING ARM FOR ONE WITH THE PASSENGER FOOT REST BRACKETS. THERE IS ALSO NEW SWINGINGARM BUSH AS ONE WAS DAMAGED. THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS IS NOT BAD AT ALL BUT NOT PERFECT BUT THEN AGAIN HOW FAR DO YOU GO WITH SPENDING MONEY? THE FRONT TYRE IS NEW AND THE BACK TYRE HAS GOOD TREAD BUT DUE TO IT'S PROBABLE AGE WOULD REPLACE IT. THE STEERING HEAD BEARINGS ARE TAPER, EVERY THING IS SERVICEABLE BUT NOT PERFECT, THE FORKS HAVE PITTING BUT THE SEALS DO NOT LEAK SO ARE SERVICEABLE AS THEY ARE HOW EVER TO DO REALLY GOOD BACK TO NEW RESTORATION YOU WOULD NEED TO SPEND SOME MONEY. THINGS LIKE THE FORK GAITERS ARE GENUINE SUZUKI AND NOT CHEAP AFTER MARKET ITEMS.  THE BODYWORK IS TATTY AND WOULD NEED TIME SPENDING ON IT BEFORE PAINTING BUT IT IS ALL IN THE VERY RARE METTALIC GREEN COLOUR.  I KNOW HAVE MISSED OUT LOADS OF DETAILS ON THIS BIKE ADVERT, IE: THE EXHAUST IS ROT FREE WHICH FOR ONE OF THESE IS VERY UNUSUAL, MORE GOOD BITS IN THIS BIKE THAN BAD SO ANY ONE INTERESTED EITHER RING ME ON 07843178357 WITH QUESTIONS OR SEND QUESTIONS THROUGH E.BAY. ANY INSPECTION IS MORE THAN WELCOME JUST GET IN TOUCH. PLEASE DON'T EVEN BOTHER MAKING STUPID OFFERS BELOW MY PRICE, HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING IT AWAY BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN AM NOT GREEDY.Just adding bits to this as go along, there is pair of new top hat swinging arm bushes to go with this and one new metal internal bush, the other internal and metal spacer were reusable but they haven't been fitted in case the buyer wants to fit swinging arm with footrest brackets. The rear suspension units are the genuine ts ones. They were checked for damping and were ok so just repainted and the springs were powder coated as the chrome was tatty. The engine mounting brackets have been powder coated and the correct Suzuki bolts are here. There is new chrome Suzuki bracket to fit the front forks for the speedo and brake cable, the one in the photos is powder coated silver. There are no indicators with this bike. The metal brace for the inside of the rear mudguard is here and powder coated in black. will add to this as get questions so feel free to ask.
