Hey there! My name is Jami and I'm from Nashville. I recently just bought a 1979 Suzuki GS550 and I have the intentions of building it into a cafe racer. I'm a huge fan of DTT and have been reading for some time now. I'm looking forward to advise from you all! Thanks
advice* sorry lol and thanks Tune-A-Fish! I'm looking to do some suspension and handlebar control upgrades before I cut anything lol if you have any advice, I'm all ears!
Here it is! I bought it with 7,000 miles on it. I took it on a little trip and hit a mud patch so that's why it's dirty lol Not 100% stock but that's fine. Runs pretty well (not awesome due to carbs sync needs probably). Tires are almost brand new. From what I've read, the first things I want to go ahead and upgrade are suspension and brakes. Lower it in the process and add some clip ons. My controls need a little TLC as well. What do you guys see? Any ideas?
Hello from Denver. Tire tread looks more like an off road tread so be careful on the streets. Pods could be the reason for the drive-ability. I like the bars just the way they are.
Thanks for your input guys! I dug into the bike a bit more and it's definitely the shock. I'm reading more on which shocks to buy for it (suspension plan). Definitely going to sell these tires and get some road tires as well.
