Over on Sundial http://www.suzuki2strokes.com/forum , there's a link to Ian Sandy (oldjapanesebikes) web site http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/GT750_field_guide/page-109 with lots of data. Oil pumps and some other stuff on www.pinkpossum.com (one of my sites) That really needs to be updated. It's about 3 or 4 bikes out of date, but still some good stuff there. Parts lists are available on line as are manuals at Ian's site. Muzza in Australia is another good source of material. http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/t500index.htm
Gearsets: I just finished counting teeth on every gear on 6 or 7 transmissions so that's about 50x5x6 or about 1500 teeth counted just to work out what was what so I could allocate different sets for different "builds" plus I have a record of what went in the last 3 GT750s.
I "inherited" a ton of parts last year which I am still sorting through. Unfortunately almost everything is worn or damaged in one way or another and needs to be mixed and matched or repaired and I have already taken two loads to the recycling depot. It's a blessing and a curse......

Don't know that I do, but I'll look.
But the short version is that I drilled and tapped an 8mm hole in the lower triple clamp to mount one end of the damper. The other end is a rose joint (heim/ball joint) that goes through a sort of Z shaped bracket about 1" long that fits under the tank. There's not a lot of space and it takes a bit of tweaking but not complicated.
Correction: I changed sides and on the right side there was no boss to tap into on the lower triple so I made a really simple bracket that goes under the clamp bolt.
