Well this was my first attempt at a build up of a early Suzuki, I bought it from Chris Dupen at Netbikes.com.au and it was in a sorry state. I stripped it down and started buying bits for it. The top plate of the engine casing was cracked so I purchased a bottom end off Ebay with a Triumph tank and set about rebuilding the bike. I really had no idea how to do this, although I did cheer when I manged to get it started. I did plenty of things wrong with this resto including spending a stupid amount of money on it, in the end it sat unfinished for months as I couldnt find the correct forks for it. In the end I put it on Ebay and a friend of mine bought it. Chris Dupen from Netbikes then completed the resto and transformed it into a Cafe racer. I saw the compeletd bike a few weeks back and really miss it. here are some pics of the build up. Kiffsta
here is the finished bike http://auction.netbikes.com.au/vjmw.php?dir=t250_cafe&page=t250_cafe At first I didn't like the way the tank sat up so far off the frame but it grew on me and I think the look is pretty cool now.
wow! you rebuilt that thing and it started working? that is impressive mate! haha your inspiring me into becoming a motorcycle mechanic and just build my own machine! hahahahaha
