The Club For Classic Japanese Motorcycles

Suzuki T500

Pictured here is Terry Hortons Suzuki T500, when purchased from the U.S.A, it was all blue brush painted and was in poor condition. Over a year a lot of n.o.s. parts were aquired, much of the work was done by Terry, the wheels were rebuilt, a new seat cover fitted and the paint work attended to by a chap who does all Terry's paint jobs, the speedo/tacho proved quite a hard task but a set was sourced in America, (expensive) but what do you do on a bike like this. Since finishing it it has done nearly 450 miles. Terry travelled from North Wales to Mallory park to the festival of 1000 bikes and displayed the bike on the VJMC club stand, a 328 trouble free miles round trip.
