    BOTM July 2024 78 550

    Interesting all stock 550E, 1978.
    With the dealer add on Suzuki fairing (Califia or something like that I think I recall) and Suzuki back rest. All make it quite a rarity.
    And good photo too.

    Very deserving.
    Thanks Owner: Robert Hurlburt for the submission.
    Do tell us more.

    I don't remember any of those Suzuki accessories, but there was one of those fairings floating around here at GSR a few months ago. Our dealer was Kawasaki and Suzuki, he really pushed the Kawa stuff and the Suzuki stuff was pretty much left out. This BOTM, with that orig. stuff is really a standout. Congrats Robert.

      My only familiarity with the Suzuki dealer add-on accessorys is from this old magazine (1978?79?) I had (and have since sold).

      Validates that Roberts bike is correct to the period.
