Suzuki T500 description

Here is a 1972 Suzuki Titan that we purchased from the original owner with 14,151 miles.  
The bike had been last ridden in 1986 and was in storage since.  We completely disassembled the bike to go through the engine and transmission and to inspect everything possible - cylinders were cleaned up (internals looked very good) and heads were ported and polished . 
Frame was not repainted nor were the shiny bits re-chromed as it cleaned up very nicely but still shows some patina. We repainted the bodywork in the 1971 Candy Lavender color scheme and polished the hubs and cases.  
This is a very good running and riding bike - typically starts second kick.  There are a few marks on the chrome here and there and I will do all I can to show  - If you need more pictures please ask
