This is not that special a build, but I didn't know where else to put it.
This is my first bike and first build as well. I have posted about it before, but just thought I'd start a build thread.
A '76 Suzuki GT500 I bought it in (mostly) running condition.
This is how I got it. in the pic I had just wrapped the tusty headers they have since been painted properly.
and heres a sketch of the direction I want the build to go.
I have chenged the handlebar levers for some from a Kawasaki and added stainless brake line - still looking to upgrade the rotor to a modern one.
and I have lowered the head light and gauges by simply flipping the headlight ears and gauge bracket. worked great.
Here's the idea for a new seat:
And some photos from the making of new header clamps.
