Yeah, grog. That's the method I've been using as well , but for less than a tenner I thought I'd give it a go, see whether it's any use at all. I'll try it and see if it's any easier.

Cosmic !! One for the memory banks.

I bought a cheap pair of piston extractors the other month, they only work if the piston isn't seized at all.

Irish in Oz

Grease gun. Or compressed air.

Not had a good look yet, but another bike, new battery, full workshop manual, Staintune can, nice front roll on stand. Starts and runs.
Wasn't seeking an RF900 but it was cheap and local if a bit tatty.

Just what that shed needs Tony, another bike.

I've always liked the RF900. Under rated bikes that were comfy for longer rides, but could pick up their skirts and go when required.
There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.

Still have another shed the same size and a double garage, both without a single bike yet. I have a large sturdy field shelter I'm going to pour a floor in soon too. Pretty sure the mezzanine would hold a few too.

Starting a Suzuki museum are we Tony?  I'd come and visit
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

They are in that middle ground of not being modern and not being Old Skool, a bit like the GSX14, TL1000 and a few others. Like the B-King the styling (Ferrari fins and starship tail light etc) wasn't for everyone.

Being based on a Watercooled GSXR and having a reasonably light steel frame makes for a lot of options. I've just been reading up on a RF1000 build someone is doing.

You need Suzuki weaving looms to complement the bikes for a genuine Suzuki museum.
Visited the Suzuki museum in Hamamatsu. Was a bit disappointed to be fair. Too many weaving looms and not enough old race bikes. (If you're visiting you must book a time slot)
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I've turned down or walked away from a few bikes that were affordable and Suzuki's. I'm not chasing Suzuki's in general.
All mine are chain drive, 16v, inline-4's. Theres still quite a few I'd like that I haven't got. From the GS1200Ss, to the Inazuma 1200, another 1100 Kat again, a Slingshot GSXR, an 1135E, a 750 pop-up, a Yoshi X1 Busa and quite a few others !

I have several other non-bike projects and travel plans on the go, so not sure if I'll find much more I'm after now.

Surely a couple of strokers Tony? Titan, Rebel, Hustler, amazing bikes. A ride on Yoshi Busa, would be bucket list. Was build you watched Jessica?

Have you ever fancied a TL1000R Tony ? I'd love to have a ride on one but hardly practical for me with that riding position.
One for sale here 98 $10k 65kms. Also a 2007 SE14 done 51k for $13k...getting up there !
