That blue LED looks like it is going to blind you when you are driving down a dark road and decide to turn on the main beam! It is really bright or was that just the camera making it look so?

I've been watching this on youtube. Is a really good project! Am looking forward to the next instalment! Much prefer the new gauges compared to what you did put on there. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the answers. Who knows why they are so large!! Any pics to show what this acute angle is? I want to see what levels are acceptable

Lots of the bikes I've seen on here are from the US, where it seems the laws around license plates are not as strict as they are here in the UK. The problem I've run into is where to mount my number plate. If I shorten my frame it will not be able to stay where it is, and having it flatter is...

I have finally got round to do something to the bikes. I have put them on a new topic: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=51575 So will be updating that one with anything that goes on! Sorry for the massive absence in posts, have been super busy.

Hello everyone! After reading about so many different peoples projects, it is finally time for my own! A few months back I got 2 GS550s off ebay for just over £400, which I didn't think was a bad price at all! The aim was to get one of them working and to turn it into a cafe racer. Well, it...

I recently got a GS550 (2 in fact) and one did come with a 130 rear tire, so it can be made slightly bigger if you want. Appears to be on the same original rims too Awesome work by the way!

Agree with both your wife and TGreg; either a matte black or a dark red will look awesome in my opinion.

Shall be following this post! Good luck with it!

Haha, I just got one myself!! Good luck with the build!

That is a fine looking bike!! SO many ideas of what to do for this bike! I guess I need to see what ends up being most comfortable to ride. That is more important than just the aesthetics.

Really liking how this bike is coming along!! I just got myself a '79 GS550! How have the new wheels come out? As much as I love the bike, wheels with spokes are something I really want to add to it!

Any updates on the progress of the bike? Would love to see it finished!

Any update on the bike? Would love to see how it turned out!

Did this bike ever get finished? I would love to see the final thing!!

Loving the look of the bike; just got a 79 GS550 myself, so will be following yours closely to see if anything you do will be useful for my build! Good luck with it all!

Very nice bike! Any final pics we can have a look at? Just got myself a GS550, so have been trawling through all the posts I can find relating to turning them into cafe racers! Yours is the first I've seen to use the seat cowl like that! I like it very much; looks like it makes creating a...

looking good! Just got myself a GS550 so may be looking at this to get a few handy ideas! :D

Just purchased 2 Suzuki GS550 Es! Cannot wait to finish university and get home to them now!!

I paid £430 for the pair! Plus another £100 or so for covers (as they will be have to be kept outside until we clear out the garage) and for the van hire to go and pick them up
