do i bastardize them and make one boring early 80's learner bike ?
or wreck em

oi, its got 4 valve heads, must be good for at least 30hp !
ok, clip ons,2 into 1 no baffle pipes,mirrors on the handle bars etc et'al.
wild paint scheme, street fighter twin headlights and , yes,oggy knobs.
all suggestions considered and discarded.

They are a fun little bike (mine has survived a FNR) If your after more parts I have a spare motor that i never got around to rebuilding, headlight, mirrors and carbs lying around the shed if your keen.
(Also selling the old beast cheep pretty soon if you wanted a licensed frame with all the bits hanging off it (i.e. running bike)

awesome project man !
Get everything off the frame and get it all blasted and powder coated.. then start from ground up.. that'd look trick as a cafe racer ! ( like the katana 500 restoration thread )

^^too many pipes and watercooled^^
Gotta watch those Suzuki's potatoe, you start with one and the next thing you know the sheds full of em!
Its a pity the Bucket racer class is limited to 125cc. Would be fun to race them.

Id wreck it or sell as is and invest the money on a bottle or two of JACKS and enjoy them.
Too many projects never happen it just gets too hard unless you have shitloads of money and time
