Has the engine ever made Suzuki much monies? A shame really as if the TL's had have worked and weren't rushed to jump on the V2 band wagon then Suzuki might still be making them, or better more upto date versions!!! No GSXR FTW :p

Hello zunkus

I'll have a go tomorrow but the back ends in bits as i'm painting some bits. All so trying to work out if my old SVthou shock will slot in to the back end.

The only pipe i've seen so far is from Scorpion. I'm wondering if the pipe work from the SV would fit, After all it is the same engine

looks better without the random blobs of plastic over the radiator John, are you keeping the frame exposed? :-)

Oh aye. She looks a lot better with out the plastic bits. But im not going to do it untill after the first service. The frame needs tidying up. There's one or too exposed wires which i'm hoping i can hide behind the frame.

I'm also going to take a hack saw to bits A and B, And keep bit A.

So, MadJohn, I see you're from Newcastle... I don't think I've noticed your name around the forum much, so if you haven't already, check out the Pennine Massive section, and feel free to join in the rideouts/get togethers if you would like to. There's a growing number of us up in the 'Proper' North East.

Come on the Durham Easter Egg Run on Sunday.

Funny you should say that... makes it sound like a moped too :( I think its safe to say that piece of crappy dead weight needs losing!

Must say it looks better without the plastic thing covering the frame!!! I dont et why they put that there. Sigh.

Hope you enjoy it :D

Just had a thought, you didn't find your way down to Squires a couple of Sundays back did you John?

There were a lot of org members looking at your bike if you were ;-)
