well i am an avid cafe rider yet i was given this dirt bike. BTW i grew up on dirt, 18 years now on two wheels. any way i was wondering if any one knew of a good source for vintage suzuki parts? i was given a suzuki TS 400 that was made the month and year i was born so it has some meaning, anyway i am looking to restore it this winter, and it needs work! mahalo ---c

Try the VJMC - www.vjmc.org is the url (I think) Lots of good people that have lots of stuff, or sources for it anyways. Another suggestion is the vintageJcycles yahoo group, based out of Austrailia with lots of New Zelanders also - they have a much better climate than we do, so the bits last longer.
I do know of a couple of shops in Mass/NH that might have stuff for that bike - but I'm not positive.

72 CB350 Racer

(and a few more)

try the ahrma roadracing site. ahrma.org?? they have a dirt section and adds for different places. sky cycle in lunnenburg mass might have parts. for nos, i couldnt even begin to guess. (maybe the dealer??) id maybe try the ahrma board. they race alot of vintage and not so vintage dirtbikes.

later
