What crazy things have you seen done with your model Suzuki?
Just thought it might be interesting to see if anyone has a few pics to post of crazy things that they have seen done with their model of Suzuki.
One criteria; It must be at least a little weird or downright crazy
I'll start the ball rolling. I own a GT380 and in my research on the web came across these gems:-

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/or ... f7736e.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/719379740450229507/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and this one isn't mine, but I've never seen a Goldwing quite like this before

Re: What crazy things have you seen done with your model Suz
delugged and relugged a ramair gt250 frame, strengthened it, put radiator mounts on it.
fitted a 1986 rg250 gamma engine. rd350lc radiator, gs1000 air assisted forks, rd350 headlight, lucas rep tail light, home made electronic ignition [no cdi needed], allspeed expansion chambers on cutdown gt380 downpipes, ts185 rear sprocket to match the 520 front sprocket, cbr600 coil, suzuki gsx400 solid state 3 phase regulator/rectifier, the list is endless, but it was great fun, runs well and it's registered for the road as an historic vehicle
cheers, dd.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.
Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

Re: What crazy things have you seen done with your model Suz
jimroid, if i could get my head round flikr i'd post some. but it baffles me

It won't let me add the other two as images. No idea why. Maybe it doesn't like Pinterest
Dollydog, thanks for the input but the idea was for folks to post pictures. Any chance you could show us a few? Your bikes sound awesome, would love to see them.

Saw this and thought it was amusing. God help the guy who tries to ride it! He turned a tractor into a motorbike....

Re: What crazy things have you seen done with your model Suz
I see he changed the front tyre. Looks like ground clearance is a bit of an issue. Must be hard to get round bends. lol
