Title: 1973 Suzuki T500 Titan custom - BaT - Redlands, CA
Post by: SoCal250 on February 21, 2023, 08:01:20 PM
(not mine)
Saw this pop up today. A Suzuki with Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Triumph bits added in.
Interesting build, pretty cool but I think I like it mostly because it's different.

Very interesting and cool build. Sounds decent in the video but needs a little tuning. I wonder where this thing will go on BaT.

I like it except for the headlight fairing thing and no front fender.

not a fan, at all, of any of the body work.

Something about it doesn't really sit right with me either. I'm thinking it's because the metalwork is too angular with too many flats. It needs some rounding and softening.

Yep ditto for me as well, be curious to see what it goes for. Auction states no reserve.

i noticed the left foot kick start.
it's a nice bike but I would have left the vintage look of the stock headlight or a round single headlight.
as i said before i need a front fender.

It's fugly.
If it was built from parts and scratch... fine.
If they ruined a classic to build... sacrilegious.

me? id fit a tr or the stock tank and seat, a round headlight of some kind, maybe a daytona set of gauges, and it would improve greatly.

also, get those stupid gold heads off, get some VP billet ones and call it done. the rest i can live with. the technical mods are very good though. But i would prefer not to crease my inner thigh on that tank riding it, or deal with it after being in the sun for any length of time.  those polishe daluminum tanks get way hotter in the sun than you might think
