New project

Sight unseen in the  flesh . Pics show lots of broken bits . No idea if it would start even if it had power . Unknown history .1400kls away so another
ute road trip .Mileage unknown .$1000
I think I now own a tlr Suzuki .

Fingers crossed Gus.  The TLR is a nice looking classic.  Seems to be a few parts on ripperdeals.au.com if you're in need of any.

Here's a workshop manual.

I want the accessory side stand. The blonde one

I was just thinking that the blonde accessory side stand probably gets thrown in with the sale!   

Right. That's it. I am moving to Australia

Nice

You certainly don't like paying that extra rego for the pilion seat Gus....

I can't wait. 
I still want one even though I know the Storm is just as good with me aboard and probably a lot more comfortable.

Great new project, considering you rebuilt that tl that was in pieces this should be easy. The TLR does nothing for me though. A Honda sp2 is so much better looking IMO.

I agree ,but can not find one for $1000 

Very true Gus. I bet if the fairings are stuffed you can make a beautiful looking naked bike out of it.

If it comes with that blonde side stand its going to cost you a fortune to maintain!

Gus being the gentleman he is might part out that obsolete feature

At the 1st post, I thought he was describing the blonde not a bike !

If you want a TLS street fighter thats as good as you'll see, with all the good gear, theres one in NZ for sale right now. If I was in NZ I wouldn't have to think twice, it would be in my shed right now. Its on TLPLANET in the For Sale section under Terry Lemmons TL for sale. $4500NZ BARGIN!!

I don't particularly agree with modifying a perfectly running bike but here is some info from one such enthusiast with a TLR1000 (TL1000R)

The price you have to pay for advanced safety features.

Plus her feet are pretty long to compensate
