My First Bike/Project

[brokenwall]

So my father helped me pick up a 1994 Suzuki GS500 for $1000

It runs great but needs a bit of TLC and work. Here it is.






We are gonna try to get started on it soon, but I was wondering if anyone here had some tips for the work we are looking at.

paint (Black with gold text and accents)
seat
mirrors and turn signals
hand controls
front forks  (maybe katana/bandit forks?)
rear shock  (maybe sv650/gsxr600 rear shock)
gauges
dual headlights
  (dual 5" lights slightly angled out to each side to give a wider field of view)
carbs
exhaust
  (something like this customized to fit the bike, single pipe for each cylinder)
front fender  (depends on if I use the forks from a different bike)
lower chin fairing  (need options in the US for these)

The idea for the nice dual exhaust is to run it low and exit right before the rear wheel, keeps it low profile with a nice sound.

When I get home i'm gonna crop them and reup them.

I do have questions about a full katana front end, is the swap easy and worth it? cause im looking at a 96 katana 600 that doesn't run for $300 that i could scrap for the parts.

--updated the pics-- they are now reasonable in size!

This weekend me and my father may begin working on taking apart the bike to see what all needs to be worked on.
