Re: GS550E from holland

Looks great! You have a good bike there! You may want more padding on the seat though eventually.
Keep up the good work!
 
Re: Suzuki GS 550

You are doing nice work Robbin. Looks like you started with a very clean example.

What bike did the wheels come from?
 
Re: Suzuki GS 550


Looks like GS wheels to me,it might be from a 750...... not sure
 
Re: Suzuki GS 550

yes their probably from a gs750, dont know for sure. I bought them from a market place.
 
Re: Suzuki GS 550

Looks great! Try it with the side covers on, just painted matt black, should make it look tidier.
