My Bikes - michael1954 - 05-07-2021

Been awhile since I posted any pixs of any of my bikes. I was asked to show pixs of the DLX I am now trying to restore to new condition. It sat 6 years under a tarp, so I am showing some of the rust, fading, and corrosion. Also pixs of my 1980 Suzuki GS750E. I am finally finished with it. The 1982 Suzuki, GS1100E that I have done only cosmetics to, like new rear Progressive shocks, chain guard, and a few parts on the cylinders.

I will go back to the original DLX post for the rust job pixs of the 'New' bike.
The picture here of the DLX, I had already changed out the rear shocks with the ones off my 2013 CB. Bought the correct Honda OEM seat, New side covers, brake & clutch levers & Reservoir covers.
Note the heavier bar end weights on the EX. You cannot see them, but I put them on the DLX also. They do help to remove what little buzz was there.

Here is all 3 Beauties:

The DLX looks in good shape from that distance.

Nice collection, Michael.

Nice collection, Michael.

Thank you. Later today I will show the close-up pictures that tell the truth. Seeing from a distance with the little that I have done, it looks nice, and rides well, but the rust/corrosion is there.

Great pics! What's the dealeo with the exhaust on the LHS of the '13? From the trio picture, it looks like it's non-existent?

RE: My Bikes - Cormanus - 05-08-2021

The 2013 has a 4 into 1.

6050 cc's of goodness....

RE: My Bikes - michael1954 - 05-08-2021

I want to thank all of you for the comments. I work hard to keep them in good shape.
But, a little bit of not so good. I am putting the 2013 CB up for sale on Craig's List and Cycle Trader. Finances right now says one has to go. I was selling the GS750E, but found out, way too late, the VIN on the Frame and Engine do not match. Being still naive after all these years, I never checked them. Instead of feeling bad, I felt good that I still had some trust in fellow man. Did it screw me, yes, but I am who I am.

I will chime back here on the Forum when it is posted. I am going to sale it for less than my listing price to Forum members or friends of Forum members. The GS1100E is not safe to sale. When I am finished with it, I may sell it. It was the fastest bike on the market for 3 years back in the early 80's, and wants to wheelie as much as my Z900RS.

The DLX and EX are staying, and after I am through with the DLX, it will look new with almost no miles on it. Now to post the ugly pixs of it on the other post site.
Again, thank you.
