P.S did you guys know these bikes arent undercoated in the factory?  And the paint is wafer thin on them too.... Suzuki must have been chasing a price point when they came to finishing them!zd


You're right about that.  "If you can't see it, then who cares" must be the attitude.

When I stripped mine, I found some of the sloppiest welding with splatters and all.  (I also had some permanent engine guard mounts welded to the frame).  Anyway, at that point I decided to smooth out some of the welds and do a little bit of Bondo work.

Nice.  Smiley

Panel work is a slow tedious process, but geez its rewarding once you get it done.  My tank had 2 dents in it which were obvious to the eye, and half a dozen other minor ones.  Theyre all gone now and the lines on the tank are much better.
