did u lower it ? if so springs or coilovers, cuz im looking into lowering mine, and urs looks great

 

Thanks man, I just picked up some dropzone springs and put them on my blown out, garbage, stock struts. Kinda waiting for this Raceland coilover thing to hopefully go through before I spend $$$ on new struts: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198962

 

ill def shoot raceland an email im interested to , maybe add me on the list for possibility of buying if they will be that in that price range!!

 

Looking good. Keep it up.

 

looks real good. I like it

 

what are your tire specs? the sidewalls look really big! car is getting better none the less...

 

haha, yeah. The stockers came with a 65 series sidewall (previous owner....) then the gray wheels were a 245/45/17 and now current wheels are a 215/50/16 if i remember correctly.

But both sets of wheels were a craigslist steal so I couldn't pass them up. Someday I'll have a legit wheel/tire combo!:3_chubby:

 

Picked up a summer ride a few weeks back, haha.

 

i know this a litle off topic but what year is the bike. i was thinking about getting one next summer and converting it into a cafe style racer.

 

nice car looks good

 

Nice looking tib bro.

 

Thanks for the compliments.

Here is a quick update... just some "new" wheels...
small and sunken. lol

 

SFS, the archnemesis of AFS. be strong my young canadian friend~~ Car is looking quite good, I like how dynamic it is

 

How much did the springs drop it? 2in? 3in?

 

I never took any actual measurements, but i think Dropzones are supposed to have a 2" drop. So somewhere around that:3_pimatyo

 

I might have missed the big announcement but what is SFS? Good looking Tibby L-ski. Very nice and clean and that silver really shine when you clean it up. I'm very impressed.

 

yes nicely done...love the siver with chacol grey look

 

Thanks again everyone

The bike is a 1978 gs550

If you are wanting to do a simple cafe build on a budget, I'd look into picking up a Honda cb"any number". As they are super common and easy to work with (especially the 2 cylinders). I haven't seen too many Cafe'd Suzukis yet, which is kind of a bummer.
Here is a great site to get ideas for cafe racers: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?action=forum

 

Sooooo much room for slam. Hurry up Raceland!

Growing up...

 

After a weekend of rust reduction:

 

one question, what did u actually do with the "rust reduction"??

 

Love the spoilerless look. I think thats going to be my next project with my headlights. I was wondering what slipstreams would look like on a tib and i really like the look. What size are those?

 

Hey, thanks. They are a just 16x7's :3_sadley:

They have a pretty high offset too, i've got ~7mm spacers in the back.

 

Quite nice

 

Thank you, good sir smackingcashews:3_pimatyo

 

Thanks, spooner!

Here are some random pics from today:

 

First pic is my fav...its so low

 

i really like those wheels. what size are they 17's?

 

Nope, 16's.... I gotta start bringing my camera with me, that first one would have been pretty cool if they weren't cell phone pics.

 

looking good

 

With Raceland coilovers

 

You hit that gym L-ski!

 

Two nice rides keep up the good work
