I picked up this little beauty over the weekend and plan on doing a full restoration/vintage racer. I completely broke it down and started ordering parts (amazing that I can still find OEM plastic through the local Suzuki dealer), getting the frame repaired and powder coated and rebuilding the engine. I haven't decided what to do about suspension yet but I'll update the thread as I go. Here's a few pics of what I'm starting with:
I'm looking for an FMF porcupine head still so if anyone knows where one is please let me know.

The Shop
Needed a new crank assy
Frame is back from powder coating
Engine cases are painted, cylinder bored to .50 and its ready for assembly this weekend
Still a ton more to do but it's starting to come together. I think I found the last NOS clutch basket in the US, new crank assy, bearings, seals, Wiseco piston, gaskets, shift shaft are all on the bench ready to be installed.
I remember seeing a few and one guy i knew personally i can say im positive adjusted his chain correctly.
A solid counter shaft from a 77/78 rm fit right in.
mines coming along slowly
Pit Row
It's starting to go back together; the engine is in, swing arm is cleaned up and I installed new bearings, found a great deal on a set of shocks, my last part for the forks arrived today so I can rebuild those now, my tank should be finished this week (or next) my hubs are at the powder coaters and my rims and spokes are on order. If everything lines up I could be finished shortly. For now here are a few pictures.
I have every bearing, washer, and bolt ready for installation and just ordered tire, tubes, bars and controls. I hope to provide a final update shortly and be riding this thing in October!
What is the kicker from?
