Kuzuri's '79 GS425L

I just figured I would start a thread for the latest project I'm working on since I plan to do quite a bit with it. I Want to have a history to look back on.

Anyway... I had wanted a motorcycle for the longest time but my money always seems to end up in my car so it didn't happen, until recently, my best friends dad told me I could just take his old bike. He was going to send it to the junk yard I guess...

He bought it brand new in 1978, and rode it for 11 years. It sat in his garage ever since.

I'll be updating this as the build progresses. I'm super excited to fix this thing up!


On to the pics!

After I rinsed it off the day I brought it home





Seeing how well the ugly old chrome shines up. It looks a thousand times better, but will still most likely just be replaced in the end.



The tear down that started this morning. Getting the motor ready to come out so I can start mocking up new parts, repairing the frame, and prepping it for powdercoat.
