Hey guys, joined a few months ago. I'm from Upstate NY in the Ulster County area. Recently got my 92 Suzuki Intruder repowered with a new motor from a 97. 256 miles on the new motor with proof from the seller who also installed it. All said and done with parts and labor it costed me $1500. Now that the bike is up and running I want to do some cosmetic work on it. Already have mini apes, forward controls and Voodoo Industry turnout pipes on it. I also wrapped the head pipes. When I first bought the bike last year I also did a bunch of other work on it including reupholstering the seats with new covers, putting a new speedometer on it and taking off the front fender because it had a huge dent in it. Then after riding the bike for 3 months the connecting rod on the front cylinder blew right through the front of the case. Was able to pull over without any issues thankfully. At this point its fair to say that half the bike isn't even what came on it originally last year. I want to keep going with this project and make it look great! I've got a facetim 5.75" headlight fairing on the way and I've also ordered a new used right fairing cover front fender and tail light off of ebay. Will be looking for advice here on how to clean up this bike and make it look great. Definitely a lot of work to be done but I'm just happy to have her on the road running at this point!

Cool looking ride, welcome aboard.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.
