1997 Suzuki TL1000S Street Brawler

Bad-Ass Brawler

Picture
This is Jeff's second Build with BBR (the first: KZ1000P Cafe Racer).  He wanted something completely different, short, chopped rear with an aggressive overall look ... we thought the Suzuki TL1000S would make the perfect platform machine!  We found one locally here in Florida - she only needed some valve shimming and general maintenance.  After some tweaking on the Power Commander & Dyno (full custom Map thanks to King Performance) she runs incredibly well with a shit-load of power & gobs of torque!  Her growl is unmatched thanks to the custom shortened Two Brothers cans!  The custom seat upholstery is by our friend Kimberly at Red Reed Threads.  We would also like to give the good folks over at TLPLANET.com a shout out for sharing their knowledge/experience on this bike ... and especially our friend JoE. for his instructions on programming/adapting the GSXR1000 Gauge Cluster to the TL - it works perfectly thanks to him!  We would also like to thank Jeff for being a loyal BBR customer and dear friend.  For those interested in seeing this build in person, well, you'll have to go to SoCal and listen close in the canyons ... if you don't see her, we can guarantee you will hear her rippin' through the mountain passes out there!
