Sam's LJ80

Post by watola » Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:39 pm

Just thought I'd finally post up a few pictures of the LJ as it is at the moment, not going to give too much away til it's fully working. Should be ready by October!

Don't think I've seen that type of rim before. They're seriously old-school.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

thanks alot guys! : )

I may be tempted to sell it, it has it's log book and original manual. And nope a woman didn't own it before me, my uncle did for 18ish years.

The only 'upgrade' I've done is converted the front to disc brakes, I considered an engine swap but it seems everyone does these making this engine rarer. I like the fact it was Suzuki's first 4 stroke!

Not yet mate, first it has to take a long trip from Wales. Can't wait!

Hopefully Scottie appreciates the long-awaited pictures!
