Hat Worthy?
Here’s my 1982 Suzuki GS-650 homebuild chop. Took one
year to complete, but still needs paint. Do I get a hat?

Hi John. Thanks for sending shots of your four-cylinder powered
chopper. You don’t see that every day. The hat you’re asking about is
part of the GarageBuild.com website promotion. Surf over to that
website, and post the pics of your bike. It’s super easy. Good Luck! GB

Basket Case Beauty
This is my basket case 1986 Sportster.
Got it in boxes so I put it together
to see what was missing. Got what
I needed from craigslist and eBay.
I’m into the whole thing for under
$1,200 bucks.

Sweet Like Kandy
This 2001 Sportster was built by myself
in my single-car garage. I have taken
pictures along the way of the bike build.
I have spent 22 months turning this ’
883 into a 1275cc custom. I’d love
nothing more than to see my bike
in your magazine. It has a -2" drop
springer, slammed 4.5" in the rear, and
