Title: Tasteful conversion ?
Post by: Sweaty on Tuesday, 30 October 2018, 06:45 AM
I'm not usually one for messing with the look of the 14, but stumbled across this pic & thought it looks great (and I'm a B&W man)

That's Tim's (Capri302 on the old forum) machine which he sold a few years back (before this forum started). Very very nice conversion he did, Dymag wheels, Yoshi cams and a whole load of trick bits added before he sold it on and bought a Harley  :doh:

The tail, headlight and front end take it away from the traditional "Old Skool" look the 14 has, but it's still a good modded bike. Nothing on it I wouldn't mind on mine.

Well I suppose if you want something totally different after all that work, however.....

Seen a Tim a couple of times out on Harley runs since he left the (old) org.

It would have been nice if Suzuki updated the 14 this way. USD forks, radial calipers and all that. I'm not that keen on heavily modded bikes but I like this one.
