| 1986 Brown and mauve for now Suzuki GV1400 Cavalcade LXE |
| Not much to add to these bikes since Suzuki already thought of just about everything. The bike has auto leveling suspension, electronic cruise control, AM-FM stereo with cassette player, CB radio and intercom, (sound system includes passenger controls) air adjustable rider and passenger seats & backrests, auxillary connection for compressor to air tires with and catch this, it even has a lighted, flip-down vanity mirror in the trunk! Previous owner(s) have added a chrome front fender guard, chrome trunk rack and a trailer hitch. I have already tackled a couple of maintenance and safety issues. The first order of business to Okiefy it is to replace the cheesy foam grips with a set of Iso Grips designed for a Valkyrie. I have already lined up a painter, but I am torn between painting it black, 2011 Camaro yellow or 2012 Mustang Grabber Blue. The painter got really excited about shooting it yellow and it is a Suzuki afterall, so he may get his way. Stay tuned this should be a fun project and until it speaks to me I am calling it Tupperware II. |
