pack
found this on a nearby craigslist. 7900 miles. clear title from 1973. two owner bike before i picked it up. 80's yamaha forks and wheel jammed into the stock triple trees. obligatory 16 incher laced to stock hub. motor, transmission, throttle, clutch, etc. all free been pickled in a cement floored garage for the past twenty years or so. one of the nicest original tracy bodies i've seen. to bad he clearance'd for the sissy bar.
from what i read here, this is a first series body.

welcome to the site guy, I'm feeling the sissy bar.
kinda reminds one of the Capt. America bike in EZ Rider.
I'm wonderin' a bit on the fiberglass tank and what your gonna do about the ethanol.......

But what I wanna know is what's happening with the Zookie?
Is that one carb feeding all 4 cylinders?

Like Marvin said, what's going on?

suzuki is a 78 gs1000c with a magnum research turbo kit and morris mag wheels. sold and shipped to austrailia last summer. the tank on it was wasted from ethanol.
yep, i'm concerned about today's gas doing its dirty work on the honda's tank. i know caswell's has a sealer for fiberglass that is supposed to be resistant to the shit. i'll get it running on a test tank while i ponder that looming nightmare.

my thoughts on the tracy too, but its why i bought the bike.

the bmw is pretty cool. 1985, first year for the k100rs, and the only year they were a true 100hp.
pichler fairing and body kit. never seen another like it. a google search pulls up one you tube video and a couple of old pictures. 6900 miles on it. since the picture new bt45's, brakes, front master cylinder, fluids, etc. its a brute.

Love the turbo'd Suzuki. It's packaged so neat and clean! And the tracy body is just cool! Very nice stuff

Looks to be in good shape, too. Are you going to leave the super stoner paint kit alone or have it redone?
