Re: 1977 Suzuki GS750, first bike, first post, no name yet.
Update:
Started tearing some of the bike down. Getting ready for complete electrical overhaul, and a few other odds and ends that will finalize this iteration of the bike. Hoping to get it in good running order for the remainder of the season, then this winter will bring full dismantle, painting of everything, and new wheels (just hoops) and tires.
On to the pictures, and further description to follow.

Stance is getting much better, raised the rear of the tank ever so slightly, and hope to raise the rear of the bike a bit as well. I MAY drop the triples into the forks a bit, but if handling suffers that will change.

Still debating whether to stick with 4-2, or go 4-1. And will be getting slightly bigger wheels for slightly wider tires, especially in rear, will have to figure out something with the disk brake hub stay tube.

Some of the electrics that were removed.
Have been ordering parts like crazy, so far: stator, regulator/rectifier, Ballistic 8 cell battery, Dyna S ignition, Dyna 5 ohm coils, Trailtech Vapor Gauge, and of course Sparck Moto custom harness.
Still on the docket: custom Cognito Moto top triple clamp, sending mine out Tues for template. If you haven't seen his triple clamps, go look, they are beautiful.
Going through carbs again, ordered o-rings from cycleorings.com, as well as manifold gaskets, and some SS bolts.
Other odds and ends such as new front master cylinder/lever, clutch lever, headlight, indicators etc.
Possibly the biggest thing I need to do is check valve clearances and re-shim, as I feel a lot of the little problems I was having will be fixed by this.
So, that's it for now! Will have updates soon I hope of some of this stuff actually coming together! Have a good one.
