My son posted pics of his Suzuki project on the Facebook page for the forum, I thought I'd share them here. This is his first street bike, he's a senior in high school. 1980 Suzuki GS550L - craigslist buy First teardown Original bars and gauges First custom piece - homemade drag bars A little better pic of bars and smaller speedometer. Sorry the pics are dark, we'll do better next time. This is where we quit tonight. Chopped the back of frame, set the front fender over the rear, removed the factory gauges and set a smaller speedo in place. A little better pic.

Nice- what kind of finder did you put on the back? The one from the front. He doesn't want a front fender, so we moved it to the back. We haven't mounted it yet, its just sitting in place. The last pics are crappy phone pics, I'm taking better pics tonight with a real camera.
