Misc bike projects

I have had these projects buried in the back of the garage for quite a few years and finally got a little time and motivation to drag them out and see about making some progress on them. The 2 bikes were just bare chassis and loose motors. I have now got them to the point that the motors are mounted and now need to do all the smaller things to get them back running. At one time everything was running before being tore down. The motors are not original to the chassis. Kind of a reverse swap, older motor in newer chassis. The ATC was bought supposedly just needing the carb and cables sorted. I should have at least bought the parts needed back then as they are now stupid expensive in relation to the value of it. Internet points if you know what this hodgepodge is.

Definitely not my wheelhouse but I'll take a guess and you can tell me how close I got to your battleship.

XS500 in a FZ600

GS500

TRIMOTO 200
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Well, you didn’t sink it, but it took major damage and is listing heavily. The only thing you missed is the engine in the GS. That is a 70’s vintage Suzuki T500 motor.
