1965(?) T20 restoration

Post by RJRamso »

Hi folks,
It's been forever since I posted here. Now I'm finally getting into the mude of working on my Suzuki projects again. Now off for restoration is my T20. As I've found ot it's supposedly a 65. Not to many of the 65s around. Can anyone confirm this? If the framenr starts with 1 it's 65, starts with 2 it's a 66, starts with 3 it's a 67, etc..?
Anyway, this frame number starts with 1!!!
I've had the fueltank, oiltank, sidecovers etc painted candy black a long time ago. A friend of mine that's really into the 60s Suzukies has a partsbook from 65 and there it says that the early 65s came with candy black before they changed to regular black. He's got a 65 as well with the same color.
I finally got the frame here in Norway after the norwegian customs held it for over a year! So soon I'll be blasting the frame etc so I can paint it and start assemblying it. The engine I've got is never since I baught the frame alone on eBay. It will take some time to get this finished since I'm working with other things as well, house, cars and planning on remodeling my garage.
Anyway, Here are a few pictures....

Can't help you on your question but that paint is going to look good.

What brand paint and color combination is the orange that you used for the 305?
