I don't think they make a bolt on pan for the 550. There is a sweet dual disc/dual piston swap that rules over on the gsresources but it's expensive if you don't have a dual disc. As for the exhaust, I think the mac is the only one still in production. You need to try to find a used one like...

Running a single line is better I think. That's what I'm doing.

Re: GS550E cafe style project Oh I see, I was just doing an "I love you man" reference. haha. That's cool man, I use to play in a band but now I just play for a bible study I do in the summer. It's really fun.

Man I love this bike so much, it's actually my wallpaper on my phone. haha. So vintage and sick.

Very fond of British motorcycles, but that being said.. when I do get the money I'm going to have to get a Ducati. Always had a really big place in my heart. Love them.

Re: GS550E cafe style project Do you slappa da bass? Or just paint em? I've been playing guitar for four years now.. well on and off. haha.

Yeah, I caved in and bought some snap ring pliers. I'll see if the mc is reusable and rebuild it. I'll post some pics soon hopefully!

It's like a thick layer of crud. I actually flaked off a bit of it but right now I'm focusing on building my brakes up a bit. I am doing a really cool dual piston conversion, and building my own steel brake line. The only problem is I can't get the dang snap ring out of the mc. I don't want to...

Sweet thanks, I might just buy some ebay ones for a cleaner look. But for now, I'll totally do that!

Re: GS550E cafe style project How much do you think you'd let it go for? Is it rusted or is that black paint peeling?

Read your whole build, love the bike man. Great pictures too!

Thanks! Yeah I am interested to see what I can do too. I have limited tools, so I have to buy some. My sister is really good with sewing, so I'm going to have her cover it out of leather or vinyl and i'm just going to use the stock hinges to attach it. The tank actually isn't rusted that much...

I want neutral and turn signals but don't really want gear position. Is there anything I can do? To conceal it? Yeah, the tank is disgusting. The guy said someone tried to carpet it? I kind of feel like buying one online. I don't know if I can get that stuff off that well.

Re: Slow build of a 78 suzuki gs550e Took off that huge gauge cluster.. Now I have a wiring mess.. any suggestions? Also going to see if aircraft remover will remove this. Going to buy some tomorrow. Skimming down the seat, going to cut the sides a little. Bought some clubmans.. I know...

Re: GS550E cafe style project Sweet bike man, I'm also doing a cafe GS550. How does that exhaust sound? I've seen one on youtube and it sounds beautiful. I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Only the mac 4 into ones. Anyways, good luck with the suzy!

I am building a cafe and that's my dilemma too. I think building a cafe seat out of full foam and covering it would be the best. It looks really good, search up woody's cl350 build. It's a beautiful bike.

Re: Honda CL350 Cafe, close to running! Woah! When did you buy this bike? I was going to get a non running cl350 in ABQ like two months ago for 200 or so. But the guy said someone was looking at it. I wonder if it was you! haha. Well cool project build. EDIT: Nevermind. Checked the date.

Re: Slow build of a 78 suzuki gs550e 1978 Suzuki Gs550 Cafe Project She's RUNNING! New battery and and an idle adjustment and she's idling! Wooh! I threw on a throttle cable and drove her around the block. Shifted okay but flooding under heavy throttle. Need to tear into the carbs and the...

Flip the mounting brackets for the headlight? :)

Re: Slow build of a 78 suzuki gs550e Okay I will get one. Thanks and I will try to get a manual but I'm a very broke college student with a very small income.
