1988 gsx600f Bike pictured in avatar.

Put about a grand in to get it happy. (not counting $$$ for title flip fees reg etc)

Stoked. This is my 3rd bike and absolute favorite to ride. First was a Kawasaki klr250 then 85 Suzuki gs700e (still have this)

Upgraded to 2009 rear shock off eBay which raised the rear a bit and is a little stiff for my weight even at the lowest setting. Even w/ that it still runs and rides great.

Happy to barn find this and resurrect it.

Welcome to KR!

Are you planning to put the stock plastics back on it?

Nice

What bike was the shock from?

[mindfulloffire]

rear shock from 2009 Suzuki GSX650f
i chopped the rear plastics just a bit and put them on as well as the under carriage plastic. both sprayed w/ truck bed coating and then never wet. which is why it is black with blue frosted look. i have the rest of the plastics (not in creat condition) if i were to use those i'd chop them too and paint / never wet frost as well. it wouldn't fit as is with the round headlight, i ditched the whole headlight mount but took the gauges and just put them on top of the forks between the handles.
