Suzuki T500

We also have a niche for working on older bikes.  Here is a Suzuki T500.  Kings of the strip and the street, the young men who rode them put up with whisker-wide power bands and a massive thirst for gasoline to get that heart stopping power.

If you have one of these then you should know how hard it is to find parts let alone find someone willing or able to work on and get it up and running in excellent shape.
