Suzuki GS description

Recently acquired, had sat for 15 years with no carbs or mirrors,  , ,bill of sale only, eBay did not offer that choice, but I have not applied for a title yet .   liberally oiled inner piston cylinders, changed spark plugs, bought from eBay a set of 1982 Gs carbs, flushed all loose rust from fuel tank, primed bowls, replaced choke cable and throttle cable, bought from eBay a new ignition lock and key set, lock set not yet mounted, just plugged in.  Bought from eBay a lock and key set for gas cap and seat lock.  Inflated tires (original with dryrot) holding air,      Started immediaetly, smoked like a freight train due to the oiling of the cylinders, but soon stopped smoking.  Everything appears to be original,  rides great for the circumstances, pulls well up to 5000 rpm's, I haven't taken it past that due to not changing oil yet.  

I got this as a restoration project, rode my sons around the neighborhood a total of 8 miles, shifts great, rides great, sounds great with the original un molested dual chrome exhaust.  It's going to test my family and work time too much right now to pursue getting this thing legal. I've covered her up, except for when folks come to look at it, and I have moved on for now to a smaller father son project.  Instead of parting it out,(same motors with WAY higher mileage selling for more than I'm asking for the whole bike, carbs around $2, exhaust around 2, and so on, , I'd like to move it quickly to further my next project . Local pickup preferred. Buy responsible for any shipping costs, and arranging shipping. I will assist any way I can, but buyers responsibility. 
At least one intake boot has a split and probably leaks after warming up, possibly more than one,
I'm sure I'll think of more later and will revise, thanks for looking

GSX-R600 long-termer update

Mon, 18 Oct 2010

When MF asks me if I fancy riding the Visordown test GSX-R 600 for a bit, I hesitate for about a millisecond before accepting. Why? ‘Cos my own courier’s favourite Diversion 900 may be heavy and utterly unexciting, but it is also a comfortable and trusty commuter ride that suits the Smoke very nicely, thanks.
