Nice, I have one I should/need/want to do. It is shoved way to the back of my line. Looking great there......
Whose side panels are they? Fenders OEM? thanks
DC side panels- they are actually pretty good molds- minus the mount brackets
the fenders are a mix of DC and originals
The DC fenders fit pretty good - I will wrap the fenders in a 3m clear.
Good luck on finding the stock plastics
I purchased 1 nos rear fender for 450.00
and 1 decent used front fender for $350
i made the molds for new front plates
and the seat bases
Wow, fenders sound super expensive. I just checked, Vitnage Suzuki does not list them. I have used their plastic on the bigger bikes and quality is pretty good. I have a box of motor stuff when I picked this up, so I should get the motor together and hope it motivates me. Key word is "Should"!
Thanks for sharing the iinfo.

Pretty awesome bikes!!! I have a couple my buddy and I used for a special 80 vmx race about 5 years back. I have videos of us in back yard tuning on them. We laughed so hard as we ripped around popping wheelies,pulling hole-shots we nearly peed ourselves! All that explosive power on a short wheelbase with a 150lb rider sitting towards back is dangerous..
I would not wait to purchase any parts you can find.
Many parts on ebay are incorrect
rubber parts- carb boots the 1977 boots do not fit the 78, same with throttle cables
clutch parts , including the covers do not interchange
front brake cables - the lengths are all over the place- I think i purchased 6 to get the correct ones.
throttle cable- the 80-81 cables are too long
the 77 is different also
the supeceded part numbers are a close match but long/ short etc
Nice work! Looks amazing!
I still look through all the 1977-79 Ebay pages everyday looking for the impossible to find parts.
I have some decent used parts, I will be selling soon.
Don't you know Pornography is not allowed on the site?
Just for fun, I took the #34 bike to a large dealer show here, over 70 bikes entered the show.
It won Best in Show award! they had 6 awards total, so I was surprised when they called my name to bring the bike up front![]()
finished up more of the tanks today
That 77 model is amazing. I had one as a kid at 11 years old and raced the mini junior class all the time.
That would have been a factory race bike for me it was mine for sure. I can tell you mine was box stock.
