FS: 1979 Suzuki GS850G running project

Would be easier. I do like the black, though.

 

The headlight seems to have a few dents in the rim, and the front suspension
appears to have less scope for travel than would ordinarily be considered
useful.

have to say, given the money, I'd go for the velo any day.

 

hehe.

The Vincent had an arrangement of levers above the front wheel. You need a
compensator, really.

It's also got the silly sort of arrangement with little link rods. BMW did
it much better on the /5 and some /6s which have the outer cable stopping at
the one brake operating lever on the backplate and the inner going on to the
other. Automatic balance between the 2 shoes and only one adjustment to
make. I can't for the life of me see why everyone doesn't do it, unless
perhcance BMW patented it...
