Jane my 1982 Suzuki GS450L bratstyle project

I bought Jane in Corsacana, Texas in February 2012 as a stock 1982 Suzuki GS450L. I was told she had been sitting for a few years but other than a stuck carb float she ran great, which was true. When I went to get Jane registered it turned out a few years of sitting had been 19 years or atleast she had not been tagged since 1993.

Stock Jane about a week before I bought her, no beauty queen but I has happy to have her

My first task was to rebuild her carbs and get her back on the road I was scared of the rebuld but it was honsetly fairly easy. The hardest part was finding parts but I tracked down Interstate Cycles in North Carolina, they are able to get alot  of parts for these old Japanese bikes in just a few days.

I added some new custom made bars with a lower rise they look a little long in the picture but they feel great. I was bleesed with a FREE seat off of a '82 GS450T that looks much better than my stock king/queen seat. Now I'm on the hunt for a set of red Coke bottle grips

I was on a hunt for a new tank at a salvage yard in Dallas when my 7 year old spotted this tank sitting on top of some junk bikes and came running from the next asile over to get me. Got it for a great price, and was impressed by his attention to detail. Now just need to fit the cost of a can of Bondo in on a seminary budget
