I wonder if the damper has enough travel that you could flip that fork clamp to the other side?
1979 Suzuki GS750E feeler
So in order to make room for future projects, I'm putting my 1979 GS750E out there...
I'm open to offers.
Details:
Bought the bike off of a guy who used to race it.
Bike has a title and is ridden ~50 miles daily.
Modifications:
Progressive rear shocks
Progressive front springs
All balls fork seals
braided steel front brake lines
Avon AM26 Roadriders (bought and installed around mid August)
All balls wheel bearings
All balls steering stem bearings
Steering damper
Dyna coils and ignition
custom seat
custom exhaust
foam air filter pods (unknown brand)
vented crankcase
Polaris R+R
Safety-wire everything
Gravity feed petcock
Carburetor modified to bypass emissions/vacuum system (using hoses and block-off plugs)
Build thread: http://www.caferacer.net/forum/project-builds/24255-1979-gs750e-did-right.html
I believe the motor is stock.
When I bought the bike I did tune up to include valve shims, carb synch, and valve cover gasket. I also wired up lights and blinkers. This bike originally had hardly any wiring, and what was there was a mess. I went through and added what I needed to, using crimp connectors and heat wrap. It works and is reliable. That being said, a future upgrade would be a stock wiring harness and controls (I had to make do with gutted light/blinker controls). I would also consider a future rebuild of the front calipers. They work fine, but you can see the rubber boots are torn. The rear brake could use a new rubber or braided steel line and it needs the occasional bleeding (haven't gotten around to figuring out the cause yet).
There is no key. blinkers are on a three way switch, lights are an on or off switch plus a high/low switch, and the ignition is on/off from the kill switch.
The bike has electric start and kick start. the kick starter lever can be taken off, so if you disconnect the starter and go kick only, the lever can be used as the "key".
The bike also comes with the following:
1x spare carburetor bank for parts (has stuck slides)
1x spare tail piece
1x spare tank
1x spare seat cover
1x front number plate
1x Clymer manual and assorted notes/receipts
1x modified stator cover (notched for more cornering clearance)
I ride this bike almost daily and it has been dead reliable. It pulls strongly through all gears. This bike proudly wears the scars of it's past life. This bike can be made track ready with only a few changes.
I'm not sure what it's really worth, so make me an offer.
I'll upload more pictures when I get home.
