i done something similar to my dads motorcycle before he passed away, not to that level of restoration ,


he always wanted a white bike , since he was a kid ,any he owned a suzuki vz800 cruiser that hadnt moved in over a year due to his illness ,

so i took it and made some alterations,

from this



stock vz 800 , cast finished wheels , tacky grapics , alot of corrosion on the brightwork etc ,

to this ,







redone all the brightwork , had special k polish the wheels and jacko repainted the tins after i prepped em , custom sissy bar , whitewall tyres , full service,

sadly in the space of the 3 week overhaul ,his condition worsend to the point he never had the energy to ride it before he passed away ,


still, put a smile on his face and a tear in his eye when he saw it ,


beef
