Project completion

Post by Zombie Master »

You may know that I purchased a Suzuki DR650 last winter. I have been in farkle mode and now am finished the main work.
The addition of a pumper carb transformed the engine performance. Bike is a blast now, nothing like the stock machine. I think this project produced a machine that is a great value. I was able to install all the gear without help due to the great resources on line. My new air cooled, carburetor fueled, jam nut tappet adjusted, all road tourer:

See mod list below.

Don't want to give up ground clearance on this kind of bike. But there is a center stand available. I wish there was a quickly removable CC.
