My GS550E, not really a project...

[Endless Nameless]

... but I'm putting this thread here anyway. I'll update it as and when I work on her, plan is to sort of do a rolling restoration and try and tidy her up a bit without taking her off the road- or spending much money, things will be done on an "as and when" basis.

For now I'm saving my money in case anything expensive goes wrong, plus I need to get the CG sorted out and sold, so for now just have a couple of photos:

Cafe racer time!

Although it does look really tidy as it is, doesn't look like much needs doing?

Ditch the indiclickers and chuck a noisey pipe on it and just ride it.

I like that alot.

GS/GSX indicators were actually stolen from busses.


Apart from that, it looks good, If you fancy an exhaust change go for a kerker or a marshall deeptone, they both sound awesome on old school kit like that.

Cheers

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

That bike is the same year as i had back in 1979/80, mine was new and never let me down in the year i had it. I managed to put 12500 miles on it in six months and then sold it. They are great fun and will get you to about 105-110 mph. Have fun with it.-Jockey.

check the valve clearances and change the oil/filter regularly and you've a pretty bulletproof engine ...

if you decide to break it or crash it i'll be interested in some of it (got a project in mind )
