For Sale or Trade is a 1968 Suzuki T500. It was originally black but I liked the Candy Blue better and painted it as such. The engine is a later model with 32mm carbs instead of the standard 34mm. The original set of cases with matching numbers will go with the sale of this bike. The crank has new seals and the current engine has new pistons and has been bead blasted and cases painted. The front end is off a 1972 GT550 and has been setup to closely match what the Cobra front end would look like. This giving the bike better stopping and a better front suspension. The rear swingarm has new bronze bushings. The rear wheel has an aluminum rim and new spokes. Rear shocks are Boge with different springs and a spacer added for more spring preload. Chain is a 520 x-ring. New Avon Roadrider tires. Turn siganls have been added as the Cobra did not come with them. Several things are not current to the Cobra but that was not the intention of the build. The mileage listed is what is on the bike since rebuild and the NOS speedometer added at time of completition. The real mileage is unknown. The frame is painted in enamel and clearcoated. The chrome side panels have some scratches and the chrome is nice but it is what one would expect with a bike this age and one having been riden like is should be. It also has freshly rebuilt carbs, new points and condensors. The seat cover is not original but the pan and foam are.
I am asking $3500.00 or possible trades plus cash.

How have you been? I hope all is well with you? You getting out of motorcycles? It's been a while since you've posted on here....
We're going to be down your way over Thanksgiving visiting my mom in Greensboro. You up for a visit on Saturday the 28th at the usual spot in Roanoke? Sometime around lunchtime?
Good luck with selling the Cobra. I don't know if you'll sell it here but it would do good on Ebay. Thanks for giving us first shot at it though. If I had any money I'd make you an offer on it...

Talk to you soon,

Bummer, would have like to have seen you on Saturday but I will still be in Winchester, VA till late that evening visiting with some puppies of our in a Neutral Kennel. Long story but a civil suit filed against us and our kennel has already cost us upwards of 20k in the last three months. Sort of sucking us dry of income.
