Ive got an entire 92 GSX 750 parts bike if any one wants some trading or swaping parts..i would like to have some laced wheels

Changed out the bars to clip ons. Got the headlight mounted but realized i need new controls or a new headlight mount. Decided on the new mount.

So I picked up my new project today. 77 Suzuki GS750 in amazing condition for an almost 40 year old bike. My plan is to do a few things while it is running and driving, then in the winter i will strip it down to the frame. Maybe to a front end swap with the goal of a cafe style bike. First set of pics are when i got it back to my shop and the second set is after a couple hours of work. View attachment 486473View attachment 486475View attachment 486476View attachment 486479

Well got to workin on mine this weekend so here is a couple of pics .. Cut the rear frame and re welded the bracket for the rear fender.. Took 10" out of the back end and slid every thing forward

Looks good. I toyed with doing that with my '81 750E, but too much of a traditionalist so couldn't bring my self to do it.

i like the flow of the lines with this set up plus it looks custom yet factory all at the same time....the square headlight is going and duals with leds going in its place along with a new petcock with manual control instead of the diaphragm prone to ethanol problems..and a new rectifier ( not charging) and 92 front end once i get the seals in the forks.

Im diggin it. Speaking of which i need to get my lazy butt in the garage. I should be able to finish up by the end of the week.

Brad. You motivated me to get in the garage for a bit. Finished up the pipe wrap and put the exhaust back on. A few more parts should be here tomorrow. Then finish up the electrics tray tidy up some wiring and hopefully ride some on saturday. Maybe i should take a day off and just finish it.
