Trade: Suzuki GT parts for a cafe style tank

[Eric P]

Well guys, I bought a gt380 a few months ago and I'm still in the process of building it up to what I want.


I have an beautiful set of Enkei rims that I don't need. Both rims come with disks. Honestly, I'm not positive exactly what bike they came off from. The guy I bought them from said they were from a GT and they have GT style disks... but these rims also came on the suzuki GS. Either way they should fit. front is a 19" rear is an 18".

I also have the tank from my "lovely" GT380 Don't let the looks of the bike fool you, the tank is the cleanest part of the bike. No rust in the tank. Paint is faded and there's a couple of small dings, but nothing major, and no rust that I see.

At some point, I'll have the forks (need seals), seat (has a small tear, but seat pan is clean), oil tank, left side cover (don't have the right one), spoked rims (a little pitted, but the hubs are great), and a couple other items to get rid of. If you see something you want, I'm getting rid of almost everything but the engine and frame.


I'm looking for:
a longer tank or one with some factory knee indents
a set of chambers for the 380 (please)
3 velocity stacks that fit VM24s
clip-ons for 35mm forks
and smaller headlight ears (also for 35mm forks).


Let me know what you have and what you want. I'm open for offers too, but I can't sell the tank until I get a new one.


Peace,
Eric

Not trying to hijack, BUT.... Heres some inspiration. I built this over two years, and it was an absolute blast. I can make some headlight ears, rear sets, and switch housings for if you like. Those are GS rims, from a 450 or 500 i think.
Chambers are real hard to find used. Omars makes them, as does Jemco. Thats what mine were. (sold the Bike)

I saw that picture when I was trying to find some ideas. That's definitely the nicest GT cafe I've seen. I've had some ideas kickin' around in my head for mine, but I need a longer tank to make it work. I'll probably end up just welding up my own set of pipes to fit my radical porting. All the pipes available are pretty mild and still using 70's style chambers (except the Jolly Motos, but they're 2 grand + shipping :'( ). I'll have to start a build thread soon. I just don't want to start a thread when I know I won't be making much progress for a while.


Well, I'll post up a parts bike I have maybe there'll be some takers:

GS550. Engine turns over. No numbers on compression because I don't have the electrical hooked up any more and no kick starter. If you really need numbers, I might be able to rig something up. The frame is free if anyone wants it. No title, but hey, it's free. Tank is really dented up and crusty inside. Btw, the mess in the background isn't mine.


Also, I forgot to mention: The parts from the first pic are located near rochester NY and the GS is at college with me in Potsdam NY. I can deliver the parts anywhere between Rochester and Potsdam if I'm given enough time and a good enough trade.
