Starting with this pretty clean 1977 Suzuki GS750 that I picked up from DTT'er CharlieT. Odometer is dead, and reads 13,xxx. Not sufe of actual mileage. She starts first kick (or push of the button), is basically rust free and has been a blast on the twisty PA back roads.
So... The basic plan. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. Newer, better performing front end. Updated rear shocks and swingarm. 17" sportbike wheels. Better brakes. Fix the dodgy wiring "fixes" that I found. All in all... Just make it handle better and clean it up. No cutting, no extreme modifications, no custom blah blah blah... All bolt on or simple upgrades.
While all this is going on (over the winter, too much fun riding to do anything currently) I'll clean up and inspect the motor as well. I have a stock airbox on the way so that'll go back in and I'll build a baffle for the now EXTREMELY LOUD open V&H pipe.
