Wrong forum or not, excellent first post.  More details would have put it as a definite contender for "best first post ever".

Wheels seem stock Suzuki to me, late 70's to early 80's.

Wasn't laughing at mookie or the bike.  I thought Fasturds reply was really funny.

I was havin' a little fun... Strange first post, if you are a SOHC'r.

The wheels look to be stock Suzuki.

Seat? Standard aftermarket cafe racer item?

I dont know why people in 2010 can't take a decent picture.  Was that taken back in 1995 and the picture scanned in now??  Cool bike nonetheless, but man people need to learn how to proof photos before posting!!  I hate overexposures... 

I agree tho, exhaust doesn't match, but neat bike!!

Man, you guys are critical...

I really like the bike, even the exhaust. It has that sort of "thrown together because it's what I had" rat rod look. Nothing wrong with a bike that's not perfectly matched and pristinely polished. Looks like it'd be tons of fun to toss around in some twisties.
