97 Suzuki TLs.. any others still around ?

Sold my 1997 in 2006 to a fellow member.

Lindemann did the front end and springs on both ends, Ohlins rear shock, Power Commander, 185/60 rear tire, convertibles.

Handled and fueled well after all that.

Replaced it with a DRZ 400SM because of Sonoma County back roads.

Never crashed either but before the mods TLS gifted me a tankslapper from hell.
 
I have one that I crashed at Laguna and made into a custom.

Helmet is too old to use now.

I have a 98 that I picked up super cheap. Lots of parts robbed off it so I've been gathering things for it. I almost have everything I need including a Bitubo shock and the hard to find steering damper mount. Almost ready to bring it up here and start on it

UPDATE! - I've been working on it and, unbelievably have it running. I was fitting the air box the other day and, after sitting for several years and not leaking a drop, the thermostat housing decided it was time to retire. Now waiting for the new sealed thermostat.

Question - has anyone ran Pod filters or run with no intake tubes on the stock air box ? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nice pic.

Here is a shot of me at Laguna prior to my high side in T -11. That event left me a little broken and the TL on the way to becoming a custom.
