Hi, I am new to this forum. My name is Brent.
Sorry to bug you guys with this total noob kind of question, but
i was looking for a little advice.
I am about to purchase a 77 suzuki Gs750.
http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/268782778.html

I was wondering if it was a good candidate to cafe.
How much would have to go into it (seat, bars, maybe tank work), and would it really be worth it?

Thanks for your help.

actually, i got another email with a guy offering me a
1971 cl360 scrambler, and I think I might take that.
It is half the price and running.



I think i could probably do some cool things with it.
Opinions / sugggestions??

actually, though the guy
says 1971
from looking at it, i think
it is probably a 1975

Just make sure you VISUALLY match the VIN plate on the headstock and the number on the title before you buy it!

Thanks for the advice. I will definately do that!

Thanks for all the advice everyone!
I have decided to go with the honda, as it
will leave me more money to fix up / add to it
than the suzuki will. plus i like the look of
the honda more :)
