GSX-R 750 86 Restoration from junk


Recommended Posts

Hi 

I have just bought my first Suzuki in 35 years (My last one was a Katana 1100 at eighteen)

The bike has been kept at a storage close to the sea in the harbour at Gran Canaria for 12 years and is very rusty..

The good thing is that I have time, space and enough skills to take care of this little bike, but one thing's for sure its wont be done in a couple of weekends

If that's your own shed/warehouse, then that's the fucking understatement of the year! xD

Good luck with the build.

Not my warehouse but close to my office, I saw the bike there and I needed + one year to convince the previous owner to sell it to me...

This bike have came with some surprises, one of them was that it had a squatter, 

Now officially i have a say what now!? rat look........

welcome aboard :tu...... Start by soaking every nut and bolt with penetrant..... axles and pivot bolt...... repeat process every day for a month xD and maybe you will get away without snapping any fastenersand possibly get the pivot bolt out of the swinger . good luck with the resurection :pimp:
