the bigest single improvement i made was changing out the rear shocks.
to progresive units.
She will never be pretty but hoping she will be a fun ride.

First ride on the street. No front brakes, so no wheelies or stoppies today:)

Mark,
I considered the stainless steel braided brake lines, but decided to go with the original Suzuki black lines instead. Trying to keep her as original as possible.
Cheers
