This here is the build thread for Chops’ cafe racer, a 1973 Suzuki GT250 (K model) called “Robyn”

The beginnings

Stripping it down, frame painting

Pics of it coming apart, and all that

Suspension and brake work

Doing the suspension and all that jazz

Body work/pretty stuff

 

Engine and carburettor work

Making it go vroom vroom.

Electrical work

Shifting pesky electrons back and forth

Driveline and tyres

 

Sprockets, chains, bearings and the like

Rearsets, clipons

Without many rearset options, here’s the ins and outs of how I sorted some out; plus, an added bonus of discussion about clipons and throttles and the like!

Exhaust

Exhausting stuff: cleaning the stock pipes, expansion chamber designs and options.
