Not sure I ever posted the pics below.

Why is it that Yanks have to butcher the sh*t out of wiring, most every car I have imported from the States has had a similar amount of bastardry done to it :(

I imagine it got parked up because of what's in the second pic :roll:

I dropped off a piece to be "TEST" chromed at a place that I haven't used before. Given that Suzuki chrome from the factory is pretty sh*t I'm happy that the item pictured below is better than Suzuki's standard........But not perfect, so it'll fit in just nice.

I dropped my crash bar off when I picked up the tail lamp bracket, I'll drop some more gear of when I pick up my crash bar.

Some Genuine Suzuki "quality" I purchased recently :(

Stripped the frame down to nothing today, removed some of the "factory" slag and removed some broken bolts. Found a crack about an inch long in the side stand bracket, ground it out and welded it up........now it looks "factory" again :roll:

Check out the fork stanchion in the 4th pic, I feel like I'm getting "lockjaw" just looking at it :(

Given the amount of crap that is unusable on this turder it would have probably been better as a parts bike :( But I digress.........this turder will live on :)

Whatever "yts" is an acronym for I imagine you're on the money Alan......assuming it's derogatory :D

It is fairly sh*t considering the Japanese do knock out some quality product.

Youth training scheme. It was a gubmint incentive to pay very little to young people to be semi trained in a couple of weeks. :roll:

It's time to think about paint colour, the original colour of this turder was blue(tank on the right).

But I much prefer the Candy Red of the tank on the left which is from the same year, not sure which way to go yet.
