    Motorcycle brand: SUZUKI

    Motorcycle model: FREEWIND

    Motorcycle year: 1997

    Tell us your story with this preparation (Why this style? Why this model? ...)

    Love or nostalgia for beautiful mechanics (each to their own of course), simple, uncluttered things and another way of seeing life or seeing motorcycle rides.
    This bike was made for a woman (a friend's wife), that's why I lowered and lightened it as much as possible. It is handy, light, with a nice sound of a mono that breathes well. It's hard to explain, because for me it's a hobby, I like cafe racers and many other styles of motorcycles, I like to modify (simple things at the base, because if too many electronics I don't touch), I had already done another café racer with a ZRX1100 10 years ago and it's always a pleasure to embark on projects (despite some headaches 😂), especially when the future owner with eyes that shine when he sees her.

    Here is a BEFORE / AFTER with the original model:

    What modifications have you made to your motorcycle?

    • Changing the fork + front wheel + brake from a BUELL S1
    • Replacement of the rear wheel and shock absorber for a model from a GSXF (because 3 branches like BUELL ),
    • Cut out the back loop and put your own with reinforcements
    • Installation of an AKRAPOWISH exhaust ( 😂) with a homemade stainless steel line
    • Tank and seat and hull installation from Remmotorcycle
    • Installation of a half handlebar
    • Installation of a magnetic digital counter,
    • Installation of mirrors and handle to keep the cafe racer look
    • Adaptation of rearsets from another motorcycle with machined aluminum plates
    • Installation of a HARLEY license plate holder and a small side light
    • Installation of a BREAKING front brake master cylinder for the large BUELL front disc
    • Realization by a friend of an engine and frame and trim painting: Jaguar green, Toyota cream white, varnish with glitter.
    • Carburetor tuning with larger air and fuel jet + green K&N style air filter.

    Have you used REMMOTORCYCLE parts? If yes, which ones?

    CAFE tank several colors available - REMMOTORCYCLE

    Saddle Black Shell Black with Integrated Long Loop LED - REMMOTORCYCLE

    Here is the end result:

    This rear is superb:

    Why did you choose this base?
    Because I have been looking for a 600XT for a long time and they are overpriced here ( cf. Frédéric lives in Reunion ) and I really like the sound of the single cylinder and it is the DR engine which is a reliable engine.
    I have all kinds of motorcycles (BUELL S1 and XB, ZRX, PEGASO, XT, HARLEY FAT BOB, R6, GSXR750) and it is my 5 motorcycles that I have modified.

    A perfect combination between the cafe racer hull, the LED loop and the 2 exhausts:

    A little word from Remmotorcycle:

    A superb achievement by Frédéric.

    We see his experience in the preparation, the result is very successful.

    The difference with the original motorcycle is striking!

    Thank you for your trust.
