Hello,
I submitted my M for a March 3rd show, Martin Motosports in Boyertown, Pennsylvania. Hope it makes it. The link below shows the pictures which are somewhat washed out by the upload on hosting site. It dummies down the photos. I'm not done yet so I Loosely placed a lot of the parts on the bike for the photos, tank and seat are not mounted, pipes are not tight. The whole front rim and tire need to be replaced, I believe the front tire is the original.
I took the gas tank off of the shelf and put it on, opened up the cap and it was rusty.... Need to have it creamed but I'm not doing it now, out of time. I'm going to truck the bike in and roll it into the show dry, that way I won't have to worry about any leaks on the showroom floor.

Click on the turn signal switch to go back and forth.
I did a little write up about the bike, hope I got the facts right, I read that Suzuki invested $37 million in development, is that right?
If I did not set a goal to get it into the show I don't think I would have done the work. Wish me luck.
