Free Suzuki GS550 Revival Time Lapse! This 1981 Suzuki GS550 came into my possession a couple years ago through a friend who wanted it out of their garage. They had owned the bike for a long time but it had sat for the last 33 years unused. It was dusty and rusty but full of potential so I loaded it up and began the process of reviving it.
This video is a quick summary of what I did to get the bike back on the road so if you wish to see more please check out the playlist on the bike as I go into detail on everything I did and much more not shown in this video! Thanks for watching!

I hope you enjoyed the video on this GS550! It was a great little bike that now has a great home with a friend of mine living its best life! I know there will be many questions on "what did you do for this?" and "How did you do that?" which I cover in the full detail videos of the bike in the playlist as mentioned. If you want to know more I highly recommend checking those out. I enjoyed this bike so much that It inspired a new GS550 build that I hope to start on this summer! Keep your eyes peeled!

I have a 82 GS550L and I’m not a bike mechanic. I’d love to have someone rebuild it for me so I could enjoy it again but fixing and working on older bikes is a dying breed.

I had a 1982 GS650E that I bought in the crate from my shop owner when working as a service manager at a dealership. I put 22,000 miles on it in 2 years going to and from the east coast to see my mother's side of the family. Also took it to Georgia a couple of times as well... great bike. Put an old "Viper" short fairing on it and instantly regretted it as the thing put the turbulence bubble right in my face. I still left it on because it looked good. Ah to be young and stupid again. I'd almost kill for it. Very little difference in the 550 series engines. Gotta love the roller bearing motors. Great video.... thank you!

@BrickHouseBuilds Месяц назад

Good memories! The 550 and 650 had the same lower end as far as crank and most of the transmission and just a bigger bore up top. You can do a 650 top end on a 550 for a nice bump in power.

Thoroughly enjoy every single one of your videos, regardless of the subject matter! These nice little-bring-back-to-life older bike restos I think, are something special. Having been hit by cars, animals, objects flying through the air, and self-induced crashes many times over the last 50 years, it does kinda freak me out to see no gloves though, dude. Hamburger hands when the rest of you is mostly untouched sucks, lol.

@tedstriker754 Месяц назад

Watching these videos has sure opened my eyes to how many problems these vintage bikes can have. I don't like new bikes due to them having catalytic converters, O2 sensors, EFI and other emission crap new cars have. We basically can't work on them much. Just replace whole components when they fail, if the dealers will sell them to us. But the vintage fleet just keeps aging, and more issues to that are popping up. That thing seems to have more pep than the Honda 550-4.

@@BrickHouseBuilds Well hey, it seems to be a great start for me, sure it's not a 4 cylinder, but 2 is good enough for some fun around the yard, the bike does look like it's junked though, so it's gonna take some work to get it running right. Lol

@@SillyVehicleEnjoyer_ Any bike is a fun bike. I love small cc twins

Yeah, I'd love anything honestly. (Although I'm biased towards hondas. Lol)

B.J., what bars are those that you put on? I have a 1978 GS550 that had bent handlebars. I searched for original bars with no luck. I ended up with a set from Emgo that were made for a Honda. They looked good, but weren't a perfect match and the knurls did not line up with the clamps. I made them work, and I am happy with them, but I like those black bars that you used. Thanks again for a great video.

They were a tracker bar from Dime city cycles but they no longer offer the exact one. A generic tracker bend will be close
