1976 US Import from Texas

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

1976 US Import from Texas

Post by SueZuki »

Here is my finished Kettle that took 2 years and £5000 to restore plus purchase price of £1500.
Engine overhauled with new pistons, rebored to 0.5 O/S, and new crank bearings.
Carbs overhauled with new inner parts and rezinc'd parts.
All chrome replated or replaced.
All black parts powder coated.
New Delkevik exhausts.
New brake parts front and rear.
New chain and sprockets.
Some old electrical connectors replaced with modern Deutsch plugs.
Painted by me.
Probably more I have forgotten.

That's a lot of work done. £5000 seems good value considering what you have done. Great pic of you riding the bike. Brilliant result. :)
