Good job petrol prices are on the way down, can tell you how to make it a Sheene replica and do 5 to the gallon!

You need to join the Kettle Club if you are going to work on that beauty.

Kevin Brookes is the top man.

Hi Steve, i got a free membership when i bought the bike as it belonged to Richard Lindoe who is the editor of the Kettle club magazine The Flexi Flyer, i also met another guy from the club who's name i cant remember but i believe he was the club treasurer?, i'm lucky because just up the road from me in Barrow in Furness is Crooks Suzuki who carry plenty of spares for these old bikes, and there seems to be plenty of stuff on ebay, are there any places like Dave Silvers but for Suzuki parts?, cheers Mick.

Sort of Mick, your close to one, I think the other wasBartons and i had good service from http://www.sparesdirect.co.uk/.

What Suzuki do is when they decide to obsolete a model they sell ALL the spares to onedealer and then its up to that dealerto import spares if he wants, or at least thats how it was years ago
