        Yes, nice indeed. I prefer to keep mine as stock as possible, but I like the bobbed fenders and the styling with bar end mirrors, smaller LED signals and tail and have couple of bikes that I bought “mid restoration” in pieces that I may do something similar with one day.

        I suppose I’ll do some reading and research when I get to they point but I’m curious, how hard was it to wire up the trail tech speedo, and how does that work with a mechanical tach/speedo and all the other electrics?

          That front fender got cut, alright. I wouldn't ride during wet weather cause the water will splash up! Lol

          That digital display is cool too. I know an engineer from Boeing and he loves changing things up on his motorcycle collection...so the wiring comes easy to him. I'll stick with the original instrument panel too.

          Those turn signals must be bright...they're tiny! I'm still using the chrome ones that stick out far.

          The one thing I do like is shedding the 30lbs+ of dual exhaust for the V&H/4-1 system I got. Plus, it looks cooler.

          I've got straight bars too if I want to change it up. For now, the original bars will do.

            Discoverd an oil leak at the the valve cover gasket last night during my ride. I adjusted valves this winter. Hopefully I just need to snug up the valve cover bolts. Gorgeous night to ride last night.

                  Look at post #18 of this thread. Couple of pics of the airbox.

                  Oh, and post pic of your "T". They are not rare, btw.

                    Ed, and the rest of the "T" nation. Do any of you know if Suzuki or anyone ever made case guards to fit the 82/83 750T frame. (they are the same as far as I can tell). Either 2 or 3 point? I've posted in the wanted forum but got no bites. Something like this:

                      Rich,

                      Both my "T" purchases included the case guards. I haven't researched who makes them...I'll do some investigating.

                              My Parts "T" doesn't have an Engine Guard!



                              My riding "T" does have one!



                              Looks like a one-piece:



                              Last pic...front view.



                              Okay...one last pic!

                                Exactly what I was looking for, Ed. Thank you for taking the time to post these.
                                Now, my google-fu is failing me today. My only hits have been ebay listings which either: don't list the specific model and/or year, have a broken mounting tab, or are "missing parts". If you come across a manufacturer or part #, let me know. For now, at least I know it's not a unicorn, and somewhere in this world, there's a pair of these for my "T". I'll keep searching.

                                Thanks so much.
