Suzuki 2 Strokes

Finally got some chrome!

DONE.............................









Unfortunately I'm back to work for a month so no time to register and tune.

Nice one Damian It's a fine looking machine.

Cheers Geoff

Just finished going over your build fantastic result

Beautiful. Very nice restoration. Looks fit to grace any showroom with is sparkling splendour. Well done.

Time for an update.....

Have ridden this little 2 banger fairly hard over the last 6 months and so far it's gotten back home every time.........so far!

The only failures so far in the estimated 1000km's (no odometer) are:

Main engine mounting bolt broken.
I don't know if I over tightened it, metal fatigue (it is 44 years old) or the Zinc plating has had some effect but it broke just under the nut.
Not a huge issue as there was a spare at home.





Gauges
Speedo worked fine but the odometer failed not long after it was put back on the road combined with an erratic tachometer (and yes it was a new lubed cable).
Got a few priced locally for professionally restoring the gauges (my previous attempts were just cosmetic). Most of them were quoting around $600 AUD!!!! After searching the internet and I came across Classic Suzuki Parts NL. Emailed a bloke named Marcel. He communicated in perfect English and his service was second to none.



For both Speedo and Tacho NOS landed in Australia for $400 AUD. Got to be happy with that!

Fantastic work
