Nice build alright but there seems to be little gusseting around the steering head unless the pics are misleading.

It doesn't look any taller than any other N/T Suzuki to me but what would this old pre 75 Philistine Bully Boy know? It appears to be well built and presents neatly but one must ask why it's sat for 10 years without seeing a track. Going by the RMZ in the background, it's not as if he's been away from bikes. There was a similar RM/TT on display at Deus ex Machina for yonks, in fact I thought this was the bike until I saw that it's located in Victoria.

Has anyone checked out the trick Postie Bike he's also got for sale. That really appeals to me. I like the way this blokes brain functions ;D. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Honda-Postie-Bike-/151196621974?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2334055c96
                                                                   
Selling a custom postie bike. As seen in Motorcycle News. This project has been going on for too long as I have not had the time to complete due to work commitments.
As you can see this postie bike has the lot. Mag wheels, front and rear disc brakes,flat slide carburetor, Top Line Griper Seat, Stain Tune Exhaust, Oil Cooler, steering damper, Posh anodised foot pegs, mirrors etc.
The bike is registered. It is being sold with out a RWC. To complete the project a chain and nylon guilds need to be installed and a battery.
The bike is being sold as is. It is advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to remove it if sold though other advertisement.
Payment is COD, Bank Transfer. Freight will be at the purchasers expense. For further information please feel free to contact me.

Had I built it I would have joined the frame see the gap at bottom of the motor I know you don't have to but I like to think that a frame should cradle a motor not a motor join the frame looks a little unfinished that way in my opinion only.

The swingarm looks pe but it has been modified perhaps extended at the front by the look of that they don't narrow in like that standard.

It does look like a nice bike if you like that sort of thing.
