Suzuki VX800 New MOT, 24k Miles.

Suzuki VX800 Shaft Driven V-Twin1991 (H)This bike is being sold as a project. however I have just brought the bike up to a good standard mechanically and it passed it's MOT with no advisories yesterday. I'm selling it as a project as it really needs sorting out cosmetically. but if you aren't fussed about looks it can be ridden as it is. The bike was stood for a long time before I purchased it. so I have done the following jobs in the last week to get it back up together. Oil + Filter (Morris and Hiflo used)NGK PlugsLucas Battery (I bought a slightly bigger version than standard as these engines do need a lot of power to turn over)I have re-built the front and rear Brake calipers. the pistons are in good shape and not rotten. Bled the whole brake system. Changed a few bulbs and sorted out a few electrical issues. New number plate fitted. Drained the water system and used Morris super cool coolant. I have also replaced a few rusty nuts and bolts ready for the MOT inspector. There were a few other little jobs that I did like grease up the linkages etc. . but basically speaking it starts first time. goes into gear easily and has a good clutch. it stops well as you would expect and the engine seems happy and healthy with no noises. rattles or grumbles. It rides lovely and these V-Twins pull like a train. It could do with a new paint job on the tank as it has a golf ball sized dint on the top. the fuel tap cover is missing but you can still turn it on and off if you have strong fingers. he key fits the ignition barrel ok but is wrong for the fuel cap. however it does turn it enough to open. the seat catch lock has been removed and I've put a tie on it so it can still be opened but isn't ideal. The wheels are a different colour and really could do with being painted also. You'll see on the photos that the brake discs are brown with rust. they will clean up with use and are already starting to do so. It has a good pair of Battleaxe Bridgstone tyres on it which aren't squared off and also has a very nice pair of Hagon rear shocks which are a few quids worth. You'll also notice that the previous owner has fitted a nice pair of stainless silencers off of a yamaha I believe. the rest of the exhaust is stainless too. I hope you can get a good idea of the bike from my description here but if you want to give it a quick look over yourself before bidding then please feel free message me to arrange a time. If you're handy with a paint gun or know someone who is. then this would be a good bike for you as I have set the reserve at a very low price to compensate for the cost of the paint job. Please remember though I am selling it as an ongoing project so don't be surprised if you need to tinker with it a little further to get it up to your standards!I can deliver the bike at a cost of 75p a mile from Yeovil or free if you are local to me. I also have a trusted courier who can deliver the bike (UK mainland only) for £100 + VAT. IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
