That looks stunning Les  :smitten:  really glad those rims went to a good home and they do look the business on her well done,  as said firebird (steve) is your man for the pad sets printed or plain .

Firebird on here who does the repo padsets would probably get you a plain padset.

Also how about these grips from retrospect?

You could well be right. I am testing the water with some things. For example, the red fluted seat post would have been silver originally. I have now replaced it with a silver fluted one instead since taking the pictures and it looks so much better and also a step closer to the original bike  :)

Hi, I have a nearly completely original suzuki shogun I was about to put back together. Anyone interested or should I carry on and rebuild. Frame and forks have just been powdered as I have changed the colour as few times as I was growing up. Had it since new. Was gonna have the wheels rebuilt with new spokes soon but if they are better original let me know.

Hi, I am just rebuilding my original one of these too. Had it when I was 6 for my birthday. Gave it to my brother when I got a new one and the the other other brother and so on. Anyway other than being powder coated a couple of times its pretty much all there except the padset, seat, and original chain wheel which my dear mother decided to bin when she cleared out her garage. Oh yeah and the yellow and black f1 grips that I cut off and binned.....idiot.
Anyway, I was hoping you might be able to help me get hold of some of those stickers because it would really help restoring it to its former glory like yours.
If you can, please let me know. Likewise if anyone else could assist the would be amazing. Thanks :daumenhoch:
