Custom 1997 Suzuki TL1000S (TLS) walk-around

Here is a walk-around video of my custom Suzuki 97 TLS (Kawasaki green) showing most of the mods, parts, and details. This video was made specifically for my friends at TLZone.net and TLPlanet.com.

After the video was shot I realized just how much I forgot to talk about and show, but the video is still worth sharing for what I do cover so I decided to post it. Enjoy!!!

Since I did not mention everything in the video, here is a complete list of mods/parts/and little details that were on the bike when I shot the video. Some of them are very minor, but I wanted to list EVERYTHING I could think of. =)

Thanks for the comments!

this is a TL1000r not a s model u cn tell that it is beacuse the s has half faring and the r has a full faring but nice paint

[Ghost360MAFIA]

@lambo930 Nope... it's a TL1000S. I have added the lower (aftermarket) fairings to it. I'm doing a new walk around soon since I have taken the lowers off and went with a belly pan.

It's very easy to tell the TLS from the TLR in other ways too... notice my tubular frame, and upper fairing design.

Easy mistake to make... but it's a TLS.

@f100kls I just keep the bike clean. I clean it after every few rides and I NEVER use soap/water/bucket.  I only use chemicals and cotton towels. Degreasers, windex, spray wax, etc...

Thanks for the comments though. =)

@Daliadanny I bought the lower fairing from eBay and can't remember the seller's name. I don't think the fairing had a name, or style... at the time the seller was selling them all the time, but I guess that's long gone... sorry.

[RETICS1]

trick biike,, i like the bottom fairing add

[NZPhantom]

nice work dude, i prefer the seperate belly pan myself but great job bike looks fantastic

[pencon61]

What triple clamp is that? Brand name ? Or is it a TLzone special ?

[JPickettIII]

Very nice!

[anthonycurfman]

hello i just recently bought a 97 tl1000s. i noticed your lower fairing i was looking to add one to mine where did you purchase yours

[MultiKeithp]

Ghost, are you on this east coast by chance ...who does your tuning?

[MultiKeithp]

Absolutely enjoyed the "out of the box thinking" in putting together this piece of art! You've got the eye brother and the extreme taste. Got to respect the naysayers as they come torn between the beauty and the apparent BEAST! keep me in the loop at the next walk around... inspiring.

@Ghost360MAFIA I just got a 2k TL, I like your bike alot!, I was also leaning towards a belly pan or chin fairing. Really like the Mirrors and carbon heel guards! Would you happen to know if my 2k has the SS headers, as I have the stock headers with Yosh slip ons and would like to polish mine! Also, how much would I expect to spend on the Ohlins steering damper? I know the Swingarm damper is way high! I just joined TLzone recently! "Vtwins4ever" haha, kinda dorky I guess!

[M4OON]

lose the seat & you'll have a gorgeous bike ha ha ha ! great bike mate well done

seriously - the seat is tacky & grim ha ha ha ha

[Crazyfamily06]

GM post up a new video with the new CF bits showing....can never get to much of her.....or the CF parts!

Crazy~
