    Got hold of 2 Suzuki GS450s end of last week. 1 running and one as parts bike into the deal. my brother-in-law might want to take the complete parts bike and build it up.

    i am now unsure of whether to keep it stock, make a cafe racer or bobber out of it...it is completely stock and the only "flaw" is the clear coat which is peeling on the tank.






    nice bar-end mirrors:


    it passed roadworthy test with flying colours - still has old plates on here.

    Keep the original one stock and build up the other into a cafe racer.

    i think it will be cafe.

    going to work out the mods so it is easily reversible, should you wish to.

    excited!

    Go cafe,that's what I plan to do with a buddy of mines' 1980 kawasaki 550,that is if he hangs onto it for me.

    I'm cafeing out a '83 GPz 550 right now. From my experience if you want an ongoing project, do it. Otherwise if you don't have allot of time to work on it, like me, I'd probably just clean it up and keep it stock.

    that looks good! I am going the Cafe route - have spent the last 4 days or so researching cafe styles, DIY tips, etc.

    got some other projects to finish up first - retro 50s Fridgedaire fridge that needs completing (plus another one after that).

    I will tackle it as my winter project. :D
