Jonny_C Thanks my friend. Im glad slow progress is still progress! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

K.Graham-- Thanks a lot for the pointers man! I'll definitely go ahead and invest a little money on intake boots and then do some rebalancing in the carbs. With the front end upgrade, it looks like Im going to find a compatible front end and swap. And I agree on the Progressive route too. A...

Re: 14.5" Eye To Clevis Black Shocks What's the helmet look like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds pretty nice man! Looking forward to more Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I'm venturing away from cosmetics and moving towards getting some performance upgrades done first. I'd like to upgrade the front end to a dual disc setup and stainless brake lines. If an upgraded suspension comes in the mix, sweet. I know the 550's have a slot for another disc so I may go that...

Hey gents. It's been quite a while and money since I got things done on my bike but Im going to revamp my thread here. I took you guys' advice and got things looked at and worked on with the frame concerns. I bought a new swingarm, shocks, and got my wheels rebalanced (and new tires). The...

I bought a MAC 4-1 exhaust so Im selling the stock dual exhaust that the bike came with. It's in pretty good condition. $100 if the buyer pays shipping! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Hey guys I'm looking to do a frame swap for my 79 s550! I'm also looking for the following parts as well 1) rear wheel (rim, spokes, and hub) 2) 4x2 exhaust 3) swingarm Feel free to PM me with prices!

Yea Hillsy that's my best bet. The closest guy that can do that for me went ahead and dialed up a $700 estimate. So I'll just count my losses and keep building. I'm excited to get to it! Dohc you're right as well. The frame lean slipped right through me. Once again, it was a noob move. But...

Yea I noticed that DohcBikes. I requested additional photos of the frame that would show it's straight. I know it's a long shot, but it's worth a try. Unless someone else finds a frame that I can buy. Also, I have a 14-day return policy alongside the Money Back Guarantee. But I'll make sure I...

Yea I went ahead and got some frame shopping going. What do you guys think on this one? http://m.ebay.com/itm/1979-Suzuki-GS550E-Frame-/371539282960?nav=SEARCH The spokes on my rear wheel have also been pretty much shot.

You guys are right. My swingarm and frame are bent pretty bad.

Yea I appreciate you guys letting me know the deal. Total noob move on my part lol I'm going to strip it down asap and get some levels. I'll get some more pics out soon. Thanks again

Thanks hillsy for the input. After playing with the bike's left side, it's definitely the shock (hence the photo and plans to upgrade). And I didn't straighten the handlebars for the photo so the front end looks off but my forks are fine. I'm planning on selling the tires to grab some for the...

Thanks for your input guys! I dug into the bike a bit more and it's definitely the shock. I'm reading more on which shocks to buy for it (suspension plan). Definitely going to sell these tires and get some road tires as well.

Here it is! I bought it with 7,000 miles on it. I took it on a little trip and hit a mud patch so that's why it's dirty lol Not 100% stock but that's fine. Runs pretty well (not awesome due to carbs sync needs probably). Tires are almost brand new. From what I've read, the first things I want...

Hey there! My name is Jami and I'm from Nashville. I recently just bought a 1979 Suzuki GS550 and I have the intentions of building it into a cafe racer. I'm a huge fan of DTT and have been reading for some time now. I'm looking forward to advise from you all! Thanks Jami
