Suzuki Other description

The background
 
I never planned on selling this bike but life changes...force me to do so. I've had if for about 5-6 years and it has been something to work on. I put on the Hayabusa newer front fork $1000.00/ Nissin 6 piston calipers with stainless steel braided brake lines $600.00/ Bitubo rear shock conversion $600.00/ Rear led brake light conversion with intergrated blinker $100.00/ I dissembled the old headlight housing and added two 2015 toyota corolla L.E.D headlight projectors $500 with integrated cooling fans(which really aren't necessary due to their large heat sinks)I added an integrated phosphate coated daytime running light/ blinker combination. I topped that off with a clear headlight lens and 3 gore-tex vents waterproof vents. I used an amphenol 7pin military style connector to ensure weatherproofing. All the drivers are mounted inside the  headlight housing on a plate of painted aluminum. I had to do this because the Led headlight drivers are not water tight and never were design to be exposed to the elements. I also had to repositioned the ambient air pressure sensor due to some clearance issues. It turned out very well and provides plenty of lighting in all situations and headlights aim is fully adjustable. The only thing I would of done differently is used a different apoxy. During the bonding process;the new lens shifted and left apoxy on parts of the lens that should NOT have it. I soldering under the headlight switch to supply power to one light like a true low beam and both projectors once the high beam switch is tripped. The old way supplied power to both lights continuously with a dual filament bulb for high beam/low beam. I did away with the white and yellow connectors and soldered 36 wires together/heat shrunk them and electrical tape. That did away with 100% of the known corrosion issues. I changed the rear caliper to the hayabusa's gold set because I like the look of it. I also put on a rear shock absorber sleeve as to protect the brand new Bitubo shock seal. 

Maintenance 

I've flushed all hydraulic fluids on the bike. Started the season with a fresh set of plugs an oil. Cleaned the k&n air filter and rebuild the rear master cylinder. 

Parts
It comes with a yoshimura full racing exhaust, which I had repacked at yoshimura 3 years ago. The old owner removed the TRE and did the airbox modifications on it. It has the shark skin set of fairing. It does have the old power commander II on it as well. The old owner had the rear swing arm painted black. 
 
Things this bike needs.
I over torqued one of the bolt holding the left fork on the lower triple tree. Oddly enough, I did this while using a torque wrench. It doesn't need it but I would have the valve clearance done on it, since it is coming up on that interval. The tires are about 50%. The side stand switch doesn't work. I have never dynoed it and I would say that power is slight higher that stock. 

This bike sounds great and does puts a smile on your face. I have addressed most, if not all of the known TL's issues. The suspension is set up for my height and weight for one rider up. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I want to see this go to someone who appreciates it. Please do your research before bidding on this. I will reserve the right to end this auction at any because I will be listing this motorcycle on various sites.

A Different Bike Magazine

Thu, 12 Feb 2009

Motorcycle Retro is a pet project of former Motorcyclist editor Mitch Boehm, launching as Motorcyclist Retro in early 2008 under the Source Interlink media umbrella. It featured a contemporary look at motorcycles of the 1960s through the 1980s. However, the circulation numbers of MR didn’t meet the expectations of the media conglomerate, and they cancelled production of the magazine after just two issues.

Old boys up front and where are the new 600 Gixers?

Mon, 28 Feb 2011

As I’ve been gagging for the new race season to kick off so it was almost a pleasure getting up at stupid 0 clock to watch the World Superbike Championship  opener at Phillip Island last weekend. I have to say Messrs Burnicle and Whitham were on form although I was disappointed there were none of the usual verbal attacks on each other that always add to the entertainment.    I’m sure they will put things right soon but the world superbike regulars must have been disheartened that Moto GP veterans nailed five of the six available rostrum slots.
