1979 Suzuki GS550
this is my little bike. it was a fun build. i found it laying on its side under a pine tree buried in pine needles and pitch. it had sat for almost 25 years lile that. someone had torn off most of the plastic and got into the wiring. i did some trade work to purchase it. made the headlight bucket. changed up the frame. put a bober seat on it. fenders are 1936 ford spare tire cover. i wanted to keep everything looking raw. tail light is model A but i switched out the guts for LEDs which are also the turn signals. stripped of the paint off of the gas tank and sealed everything with a mat clear to lock in the rust.
those carbs had to be the most challenging yet, took nearly a week of soaking just to take them apart. all new wiring and swapped out the points and condenser for an electric ignition.
it's fun to drive and gets lots of attention where ever i go.
