The age old question...
If you saw my introduction post, you'll know I just picked up a 1982 GS1000SZ. I've had a chance to have a closer look it today, and the poor thing needs a lot of help....
The bike was put away after a crappy repaint in 1987 and has not been run since - it has 4500 miles on it. I'm new to vintage Suzuki's so I don't know the relative rarity of these bikes. I'm not new to restoring bikes, and the old girl will go down to the bare frame no matter which way I choose to go. So....
Would you restore, restore with period correct mods or rebuild and modify using later wheels/suspension etc.?
