Winter Projects (to keep Joel out of trouble)
| The 1981 Suzuki GS850 | ||
| This 1981 Suzuki GS850 came into the shop last summer.
It ran O.K. but needed lots of TLC.
|
Almost done tearing it down. This one will definitely
need a re-paint on the frame.
|
|
| This is why it is so important to have your battery vent
tube in place and properly routed. Battery acid = no paint =
rust.
|
Is that screw supposed to be in the bottom of the oil
pan?? Now I gotta figure out where it came from!!
|
|
|
Finally it's done. I was planning on keeping this one for myself but Yvonne says I can't keep everything. Guess that's why we got into this business. Oh well, the fun part is the process for me!! Here's what it got
|
| 1970 Honda CT70 - Trail 70 | ||
| This Honda CT70 was literally purchased out of a farmers field. It had its own little ecosystem inside the hollow pressed steel frame that included a family of mice and a rather large bee hive. | Sorry to have to displace these families living in its frame but these little bikes are getting hard to come by nowadays. :) | |

 |
|
| This one is gonna need some serious help! | I need to practice my welding skills anyway. | |
 |
 |
|
| Almost done. Just a couple of decals away. these will need to be custom made too. Sometimes I think it was a good thing that there weren't any teaching jobs around when I got out of UW Stout. At least I learned how to screen print. | Yvonne was one of the first to drive this beauty after it was done. Stop in and ask her how that went!! A free gift is waiting for anyone who does! | |

| 1974 Yamaha RD60 | ||
| A problem child bike bought off of eBay. This one is reminiscent of the early mopeds available only in England in the early 1970's Only this one doesn't have pedals. It really goes now! | ||
