THE WHITE NIGHT
HEY guys
Sorry there has not been any posts for a while (lap top blow up and miss had a baby)
in this time i have finished off dan's 1986 Suzuki GN250 build.
the build was over about 4 months. dan picked up the bike from a wreckers in Sydney for $500 (bargain).
the back rim was stuffed.
so we sourced a new one and various other parts(modern motorcycle company check them out for parts). once we decided which way we wanted to go with it.
The bike was totally pulled down sand blasted.
Rubber used firestone ANS military. These tries were great dan being a keen surfer wanted the bike to go off road (surf rack being fabbed up now) so it was raised 1.5 inches in the back and lowed the same in the front so it sat level.
custom seat pan was fabbed up and covered.
the original tank was a cool shape so i keep it, and raised it up level, so it keep with the flow of the bike.
the wiring loom was minimised and i installed a antigravity battery (worth every dollar).
in the carby i went up 2 stages in the main jet and 1 stage in the idle jet and moved the needle up one.
hope you like the bike.
PROVOKING THE STOKE
