she's getting close. i hammered out an ebay front fender today. it's a ybrand fender but very close. m12 bits are hard to come by. sorry rick.
who drills holes in fenders, then mangles, then puts them for sale?
thank goodness it's slow this time of year.

Nice work, Dennis. Tiddlers can be so rewarding to work on/restore.....because there are so darn few of 'em left now.

theres a lass here in the UK that specialize in restoring tiddlers.
she seems to throw money after them.
got to admit they are a real bueat.
I bet Suzuki didn't sell them like that.
nice work Dennis.

Actually Heidi and her main man are into Suzuki tiddlers only, from what I've seen in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics over the past 10 years or so. This team does stunning work on any project they attack. They've done some VERY exotic Suzis over the years.....especially one/two year only models that are pure unobtanium. I don't recall them ever doing anything larger than a 150, however, so they seem to be happy with small capacity bikes. Good on them, I say. 8) :D

they did do a 250 or 350 a few years back but I've only seen tidlers since.
