Suzuki K15 Hillbilly

I just recently received my wiring harness, a much needed part for my Suzuki K15 Hillbilly. I literally had to either replace or rebuild every part. With the exception of the handlebars, I think everything was broken, or worn. I have stripped the bike down to its very essence and am looking to begin the trek towards stripping the paint. I desperately need fork seals! I marvel at the simplicity of this machine, although it is the first two-stroke, oil-injected enduro, I believe the bike was built for trails. I run my hands along the cylinder walls and find virtually no scratches or pitting. The bike has been beat to hell and back, and the only thing that is in tact is the cylinder! I ordered a new piston and ring set, and will tank and paint the head. The carburetor has seen better days and I might have to go Italian for a replacement. As with my nephew’s k15 bike, I will have to fabricate the air box with an aftermarket filter set up. I have new rubber and brakes mounted already and will true the spokes as needed. The chrome is in bad shape in places but it adds to the character of the bike. I am tanking the parts, cleaning the crud out of every nook and cranny, to breathe life and restore this machine to its true terror! I love the fact it has a dual sprocket system, although I wonder how many people actually stopped to pop the chain. I have replaced most of the electrical, speedo, and anything that resembled a switch. With my flywheel puller, I shall explore the stator and points, with the expectations of cleaning the rust off after 40 something years. I look forward to the spring as I purchased rally red for the color. I plan to do a custom paint job with classic Suzuki lettering along the fenders. I hope to have the bike completed by late spring.
