Suzuki Bobber.. Running..Riding..

Description:

Let's get one thing straight ..from the beginning. This bike is Not the usual Bodge.. I've been working on bikes..writing about them and customising them for long enough to know exactly what I'm doing.
This bike rides as well as a standard bike..indeed, in my opinion..Better.
Ive not long finished this bike, which was in a bit of a state when I bought it. A Lot of work has gone into this project; It's not 'Concours' and was never intended to be... It Is a smart, sound and functional little bike, with a hint of exclusivity. 22,000 miles, which I believe is genuine.
Once upon a time it had been a 1977 GS 550L, I DID NOT saw the back end off, and would not have done so..But....
Given the status of the bike I decided to make the Best of what it was, and I'm glad I did as it became increasingly obvious that before hacksaw-man got to it, and smothered it in a dreadful concretion of Matt Black paint...it had been a well cared-for machine.
New old-stock exhaust..with my own little touch. Rebuilt carbs, which benefit from a Dyno Jet kit ( idles and runs nicely ).. totally re-wired with Honda Regulator -Rectifier. LED lights. I have simplified the wiring as much as possible.
Despite my dislike of 'Bobbers'..I think this thing looks ok..and possibly better than the Factory-Custom it once was. Runs well and sounds delicious.
I've done about 300+ miles since finishing this bike and have done a few club-runs... hasn't missed a beat and has attracted favourable comments throughout..
