Cool! Building your own bike is a great way to learn about your machine. There is a huge level of pride and satisfaction in knowing you have turned every nut and bolt with your own hands. From personal experience, find yourself an official Suzuki shop manual, and use it...the ones from Chilton/Hayes/etc are ok (sort of), but are missing a lot of info that you will need for a full build.


I'm with the other guys...a café style build would be a great route to take, and likely more fun to ride. Small displacement bikes are a riot to rip around on once they're lightened up and geared down a bit. Good luck, and post your progress.
