really nicely done and I envy the cleanliness of the whole bike and the attention to details is amazing. giving me inspiration to strip down my GS550 and do a clean up!
Just wanted to to say this bike looks awesome. I have a GS550E that I'll be attempting to turn into a cafe racer this summer, and this has definitely added a little motivation. Great job.
THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! Im going back in to the gargae to work on my 750LT now! My wife wanted me to sell it ...... she can pry it from my cold dead hands now!! cant wait to have my bike finished!!
Beatiful machine Dean, and extremely inspiring. I'm about to start my own first cafe project on a Suzuki GS550L LE, and your project has given me a number of good ideas :-)
Really nice build. I've got an 81 550T as well. Will be rebuilding it soon. Hoping to put on a 650 top end and block etc. Is the jet kit the one for the 550M? What coils and leads are you running? By the way man, this is one of the best, if not the best, GS550 build I've seen.
I love what you did to the bike man. Ive found myself the exact same model, a gs550. The thing is though i have zero experience in building one, this will be my first. Is it mechanically-friendly?
What size did you have to re-jet to, with that air filter, and has it given you any trouble? They say those CV carbs have a hard time with anything but the stock filter.
Fantastic stuff, I have just read through your build on the forum. I have bought a 1981 gs550e off eBay and started chopping. If you don't mind me asking, what jets did you use in the carbs, this is something I still need to face. Thanks jason
very nice job! I have a gs550e show bike, id like to get it in better shape, just purchased 3 months ago. Would love to send you a photo if your interested.
sorry its a great build and 6 speed if i remember .. everyone into hondas so you did somthing real spl....try a 550 katana tank bolts on with a TT shape + 5gals gas
hi does anyone know where to get these air filters for same model bike? or what this style of filter would be called so I could search for it. looked all over ebay with no luck. thanks
