94 Suzuki GS500E

Picked it up Thursday. Looks good but needed a few parts. 10482 miles with newer Bridgestone tires.

Both bar end weights were missing (probably bar end mirrors). Both brake and clutch levers were torn up, and I managed to break the head off the shift lever bolt trying to tighten it up.

New parts from Suzuki were $102 for both levers and bar end assemblies. The weights alone were 3 times as much as the whole assemblies, makes no sense but check the price of both if you are buying something similar.

Today I was drilling the broken bolt out of the shift lever to save the $48 they wanted for a replacement. I had the garage door open. Two Hummingbirds who were fighting over the feeder on my porch over the open garage door fly into the garage going at it with each other! Poor little guys got so exhausted I finally got one out and the other landed on top of the door. I grabbed him by the beak and carried him outside the dooor and let him go!

I hope they both survive

regards
Mech
