Cyclewerx Custom: 1983 Suzuki GS1100
This 1983 Suzuki GS1100 came to us tired — and left as a matte-black cafe racer that took Best in Show, 1st Place, Cafe Class at the North American International Motorcycle Supershow in Toronto.
The teardown
Every build starts the same way: strip it down to nothing and see what you're working with.
The build
Fresh motor, modern suspension, and a full rewire — this is where the bike becomes something new.
The reveal
Satin black paint, pod filters, and a stance that means business.
