DaveV65 Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Well, 250 miles later she's finally home and squirrelled away in the garage until I can check her over, daughter's boyfriends stuff is taking up too much space! 13 Quote
DaveV65 Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 I thought it was an ME33 but it's on Lasertecs, I'll be checking how old they are before taking it out. Last hit the road just before Covid, carbs need a clean but she's ticking over better each time she's fired up. 1 Quote
gsx Posted April 8 Posted April 8 (edited) And another one into the fold , what's the story ? Looks good for resto , ride as is or mod Edited April 8 by gsx Quote
DaveV65 Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 It's well tidy and original so it'll be ride it first and see what develops from there, probably end up going restomod but keep the ability to go back to original at some point if needed. Forgot how heavy they are so hopping off a Doocarti onto it will require some sensory recalibration. Quote
Dezza Posted April 9 Posted April 9 (edited) What model is it (750 or 1100)? It looks pretty much original, even down to the pipes . Edited April 9 by Dezza Quote
DaveV65 Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 Dezza it's an 1100, the pipes look original but I'll check if they are Suzuki, they look the same as the Kat pipes I had on my old 1100ET with a bit of dexion to mate up the mounting brackets. 1 Quote
andyroach Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Always wanted a Kat1100. i bought one but it was too far gone and just moved it on. There used to be loads of them in the Nottingham area, but these days you just don't see them. 1 Quote
DaveV65 Posted May 5 Author Posted May 5 Wasn't really looking for a Kat, was more after an EFE but this popped up on Autotrader and at a fair price. The seller was not hands on at all, it was always vanned to the dealer, even for a new battery! Straight up guy though. Side stand is suicidal so new spring, shoulder bolt and a pack of shim washers on the way. Brake hose swell like inner tubes so braided kit on the way. Intermittent dip beam function so multimeter out today. 2 Quote
DaveV65 Posted May 18 Author Posted May 18 Sidestand sorted, headlight issue sorted, stiff throttle lubed and returning freely, historic vehicle V5 back and ready to go. Just been too busy but £83 insurance to pay and we're going out. 4 Quote
Suzukian Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Nice find, fer sure! Not many of these in the U.S., stock, it would bring a lot of bucks Quote
