Hi you lot.As you all know,i still have got a diversion lowrider project thingy thats taking ages to do,but now ive picked up a third project.My second project was gonna be based around a dr 650 engine thats still tucked away under my workbench.
Anyway,my latest project is more pressing and do-able i think.I have a little scooter to go back n forth to work which is gradually falling to bits,and rather than do it up,i was looking round for a decent cheap commuter.A mate of a mate whos a member on here [kev...with the blue xj900trike] offered me this suzuki gs500.It was stolen recovered,but most of the damage is purely cosmetic.Levers,mirrors,indicators and a petrol cap need replacing.
Ive started to strip it down a bit and i think its got a bit of potential as a cafe-racer,rather than keeping it as a standard commuter.The engine is really quiet and smooth as it still had the standard exhaust fitted when i went to have a look at it. Ive got about 6 months to get it on the road cuz thats when the mot runs out on the scrot,so i will need transport to work. some pics.
