Mechanic for older bikes needed.

Hi, looking for a private mechanic who knows old bikes well. You see what bike I have, so obviously bunch of questions to answer and help will be required with complicated areas. Need responsible person with reasonable rates... $90/hr shop rates are out of my league, I cant afford that. I'd rather buy a new bike, but thing is I want to really restore this one to its close to original glory. Seems like very rare bike, why waste the baby?

Anyone can recommend someone?

Can you recommend yourself?

Thanks in advance.
 
Ok, let's talk...what needs to be done? Don't know...it runs, starts, I drive it every day, light and hard. But none is perfect...clunk here, sound there, pause in acceleration at 4500 rpm, like if it's taking an extra breath; low rpm struggle round 2200-2700.... Things like that. What do u say?

What do you need done? I probably Qualify, since I'm old, and I know old Suzukis a fair bit

Sometimes the reason a vehicle is rare is because either they fell apart due to lemonitus or no one wanted them in the first place. Rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable so watch your coin unless that bike is your passion.
 
The Madura may not necessarily be a lemon but it is ridiculed for it's aesthetics. Very few were sold.
