Where did you get that seat? My work in progress 77 GS550

Carb light. Carb is from CL77 Honda.

D&D TT pipes and you'll be complete Where did you get the rear fender?

Mee Too!

Nice work, what speedometer and tach are you using?

Be sure to look up some buddies of mine at Bonneville, Tri-Mac Speedsters, trying to set a record in the 100cc APS-BG (blown-gasoline class) #476B

I used a wire wheel, steel wool and elbow grease. They don't look that good close up but the bike isn't meant to be a show piece.

The GS550 is a great bike to start with. I'm still working on mine. 8) http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=35598.0

Advice to newlyweds. I'd rather be happy than right.

Here is the aluminum bracket I made for the seat and here is how it attaches, or will attach to the back of the frame with some Dzus fasteners or maybe just bolts: I intend to get longer shocks to keep the tire from hitting the bottom of the battery holder. The front mounts slide into these:

What color should it be? Wife says red.

I installed a new petcock and fuel lines this afternoon, put some gas in the tank and using my temporary battery got it started: Shorai battery and tender on the wish list, then find someone to throw some paint on it, find a new front master cylinder, install the seat and tighten up a few...

I cleaned out some slight surface rust in the gas tank this afternoon with CLR. I should be able to attach the new petcock and gas lines this weekend and see if it'll fire up. I plan on changing the inline gas filter a few times after I get it back on the road. The front caliper rebuild parts...

I haven't updated for a while so thought I'd toss in a photo of electrics under the seat. I bolted a sheet metal tray under the frame from the rear of the gas tank all the way to the rear of the bike and attached necessary electrical components to that. New Shorai battery will fit in the rear.

Brings a smile to my face. Ahh, the memories...

If the battery isn't fully charged the blinkers might not blink. Not enough load on the flasher can. Do they blink when you turn off your headlight?

making a little progress Electrics are nearly finished. Installed new handlebar switches and got the wiring sorted out. I ordered an integrated tail light/turn signal and should install that next week. Need to rebuild master cylinder, finalize bars, figure out why the clutch won't disengage...

Good to see another Suzuki, nice job so far. Keep plugging away.
