Owned one new. Rode it for 7 years. Fantastic machine!! Great work on the rebuild👍🏼
Really inspiring, great work
Terrific work with a tremendous result . They are underrated massively
i love that with classic suzukis you are able to order any part from suzuki directly. sublime
This is true, but most of the parts that were ordered for this restoration were through Babbit's Online. I highly recommend them.
Depends on the part and the model of bike, some things for Suzukis are just unobtainium, can't get them for love or money. But they are better than Kawasaki which has a rolling 10 year obsolescence and stop making parts for them.
Now that was one Giant Huck .. well done minute man.
Awesome restoration!! Just picked up my old 90 gsxr and will be starting a full restoration on it....looks great!
Noice! Yours is an air cooled.
I like how you broke up the engine colors. So many possibilities! Never ending projects. Keeps our sanity. Thanks for the video.
Fabulous restoration, mate! amazing truly amazing. had a lot of fun watching it done bit by bit. i hope you enjoy the ride and pleasure you will have knowing you did everything. thanks for the vid.
Just amazing how you did that... Great job

Amazing restoration work.
Thank you. It was a fun project!
Excelente restauração!! Parabéns!! 🇧🇷
omg.. increible"!
Beautiful restoration though just find the black painting pretty boring and anonymous. I'd go for some original Suzuki racing team colors mixed in some original way (imho)
parabéns amigo! ótimo trabalho, ficou excelente!!
Beautiful beautiful restoration. Love these bikes. I have a 1981 gs1000e. Didn't need to do much to it but what I did and achieve is far insuperia to what u did. Hands up. The head,while off I would have polished and ported . ......finishing touches to that superior engine. Nice one hop its still on the road

Great , Super man
Now i start same projeckt :)
uma obra de arte!
very nice.
Awesome!!!!
awesome.
That's my all time favourite song
Just going through the same process with my 86 1100G model GSX-R, and being bent over and shafted by Suzuki New Zealand every time i need some part i can't find on the net or can't get shipped because of the WuFlu. :-)
Example: Suzuki NZ quoted 500 NZ Dollars!!! for four inlet rubbers, the originals had turned so hard i couldnt get the carbs on. A tip from a forum said heating up a pot of Armour All and letting them soak in it would soften them. It worked, turned them back into rubber :-))
Exactly. Rubber can be reconditioned to an extent.
very nice ! :)
Great bike really enjoyed mine ,
Great bodywork@9:35👍😀
Excellent
Respect 👌🏻
Una obra de arte saludos desde Argentina
Woooow it's perfect
Chokran
superb, I have my eyes on one here for sale.
Dam dude that was really impressive!!!! Wow what a skill set man!! Shit I'm still baffled at what it takes to do that and get it all correct and on top of all that he has that blonde to look forward too!! Lol. Lucky guy!!
I'd never touched a motorcycle before this one. You just have to dig in and go for it.
Looking for your website with no luck . Almost got excited thanking you were local
Restauration magnifique!
9:36 Jolie Moto... jolie femme
Merci bcp
great job very well done shame the black paint for me, but its a matter of taste
Nice job man ' you have put some hour's in there . I have got the same bike. 🤘☺️👍
Thanks 👍
メチャクチャカッコイイ Really cool
Preciosa 👏👏👏💪💪💪
Молодец ! Вот эта работа !
Hi, I want to set up such an air filter, which is the K & N?
Good job :)
Regards
Reminds of what it takes to do it all the way
Terrible restauración. Hermosaaaa
9:35 🔥
Beautiful job! Do the open air filters actually have any beneficial effect besides sounding faster, though? I would think that the original ram-ish air intake would provide cooler air with a slightly higher pressure at speed, which should help keeping the engine a bit cooler and more oomphy.
Keep the air box. Works better and less headache.
i would love some info on the things you did i would like to do to mine i just bought one and started restoring it
Congratulations excellent job tell us where you got the carburetor seals in fkm or green if you let us know some we don't know or someone knows I will thank you please...
Here you go brother! Please like and subscribe! :) litetek.co/ReplacementPartsSuzuki.html
But note: they changed the color from green to blue.
Very good work, how much you got parts. please,please..
tell me why you connected the filters with tubes and brought them where ??
WHAT A GREAT RESTORATION, but....why vance&hines instead YOSHIMURA carbon?
Vance & Hines matches the look I was going for and sounds awesome. Plus it's a full exhaust system from cylinder head to the rear.
What a Nice Work, a hundred likes. How long did it take?
6 Months-ish, The whole process was documented in Gixxerforum
I have thé same color
Donde consigues los repuestos?
What rear shock and what swing arm did you use in the rebuild? - I'm rebuilding one my self :)
Nitron rear shock and factory 93 swingarm
wowwww
Nombre del tema por favor!!?
Theme's nAme please
I have a question I’m restoring a 1992 gsxr and I can’t not find a fairing kit any where? Do you no where I may be able to find a kit? You done a hell of a job on your bike thanks
Not many choices out there unfortunately. I had to get a used front fairing (around headlights) and get it cleaned up at a bodyshop.
How is the resto coming Shawn?

I have a 1992 Suzuki gsxr 600,your videos have helped me in restoring it but I'm stuck I bought a brand new ignition and the 92 and 93 models are built the same I can't get my ignition off I don't see how I am supposed to I can't get my triple tree off because I can't find any way to get it off. Need help please
Read the manual, step by step instructions for noobies like yourself.
Watch 0:56 to 1:04. There are 2 nuts. One is the top nut that can be removed with a socket. The second one further down you'll need to make a custom tool. Take a large socket and mark the areas where you need teeth to lock into the triple tree large nut. Use a grinder to grind metal from the large socket until you have the correct shape. Then remove this second larger nut using your home-made tool. Then the triple tree will come apart. NOTE: when replacing the ignition switch it's held on there by 2 bolts. They are single use bolts. You have to carefully remove them with either a strong vice grip or you might have to drill them out. When replacing I recommend using the same factory bolts for theft protection OR you can get some regular hardware, but it will make the bike easier to steal.

"restoration"
"the process of repairing or renovating a building, work of art, vehicle, etc., so as to restore it to its original condition."
plural noun: restorations
"the modified motorcycles seem in need of restoration"😁
This is a "resto'mod".
It's a nice bike but wasn't the restoration I was hoping to see when I clicked.
As soon as I saw the carbon covers and polished frame the disappointment set in.
Was actually hoping to see how the polished frame rail would be "restored" to the original brushed finish. Sadly, no such luck.
Nevertheless. Nice work. She looks great.👍
I'd never heard of a resto-mod before. I like that term. Perfect description!
@@TwistedGridStudio
"Resto-mod" comes from the classic car world.
It's when they take classic muscle car and modernize it in some fashion. Typically a late model motor/trans, updated suspension and interior. The rest of the car appears stock.
It's sort of a mixed bag to most people. They either love it or hate it.
It's the same in our motorcycle world. It's either restored to factory stock or it's modified.
The "restoration" crowd would rather see it bone stock with factory colors.
It's extremely expensive and very hard to pull off.
On the other hand. The resto'mod guys bring the bike back to a nice presentable condition with their own personal taste.
I'm currently working on a 90 GSXR 1100. Doing my best within a tight budget to to bring it back to factory condition. In other words. I'm fixing what I can, replacing what I can find and so on. There's a crappy video on my channel of when I first got it back in late December of 2019.
Anyway. Hope this helps explain the "resto'mod" thing.
👍
Have a great day brother.
nice , i give u twelve grand
If you've got it I might consider the offer
You should do this service for people.Just saying

@@TwistedGridStudio dude , you crazy ))
Have you ever restored anything? Parts are expensive and this bike needed a lot even if it was complete. This was not a restoration as original parts were not used. Updated parts are better IMO but disqualify a bike from restoration. This was a resto mod. Nice work
Looks like you spent a ton of cash on that restoration...
15k
Palmeiras não tem mundial!
Sorry dude, spending 15K replacing parts doesn't qualify as a "Restoration". Lets see you doing one without money!
Paul Oshea you're right except for the doing it with no money part. You still will spend money in paints,cleaners and parts that ultimately can not be re-used. (Copied and pasted info below)
Restoration of a vehicle refers to the process of restoring a vehicle to its original condition. Neither updating nor modifying are considered part of the restoration process. A restored car is one that has had all of its systems and/or parts restored to original condition. Selectively restoring parts or systems is referred to as refurbishing. It does not qualify as restoration. Rebuilding an engine may restore that engine, but it does not restore the car, or entitle the car to be called a restoration.
A car that has had its body work restored to as new condition but has undergone some modifications elsewhere is either a modified car or a resto-mod car, neither being completely restored nor completely modified. If a car has had an engine swap for other than the original model, that car has not been restored. Although most of the parts are original, it qualifies as modified rather than restored.
Exactly. It was a complete resto-mod.
