Jenga

So last year my buddy Jeng decided he wanted a motorcycle. After some convincing from me he decided to build a bike. Cafe Racer in style. After some looking on KSL he found a '81 Suzuki GS550 in pretty decent shape for a good price and snatched it up. It was in decent shape but not quite running. Jeng and a friend soon stripped it completely down and that's how it sat for a few months.

I then gave him 150 for it loaded it up in the truck and brought it back to the Rapture Moto garage and there it sad for a bit...haha. Then i began to assemble the engine until I realize that the cases were destroyed. Not worth the effort to find new cases...Idea scraped it sat in the corner while I worked on the Dirt Devil, The Bottomfeeder and striping down the Harley. Now that all those projects are past and I started going stir crazy I remember this little scoot in the corner and then I remembered the best part. Its TITLED! so I dug it out and stared at it a minute. Decided to do something with it and the name was far too easy. Paying homage to its previous owner it will be known as Jenga! perfect haha.

First thing i did is lopped off the rear end tore off the swing arm and chopped off a bunch of tabs. then I was looking at it trying to decide what kind of tank i wanted to start looking for. the Back bone on this frame is wide and weird. really weird and then i got it....the frame will make a good tank so tonight i got the ball rolling and made tank templates and mocked up the hardtail
