Need Help/Ideas 77 GS550 Mods
Not too long ago I bought my second bike, second Suzuki I've owned, first GS I've owned and I love her, good looking, strong, reliable bike. I went out looking for one like this just personal preference. It was a mostly completed bike and since I've pretty much finished her up BUT...I'm a perfectionist and I like to constantly tinker with things so I want to change a few things just not sure what yet ha!
So far the bike has been jetted, pod filters, front and rear sprockets, and a custom exhaust done by a local shop. My question is what can be done performance wise to the 550 in terms of the engine?
I thought I saw a thread about a 650 top end being able to bolt on to the 550 bottom??? Anyone do this or have any experience? Does anyone make performance cams for the bike? I've looked and can't find any
As far as future plans go...I want a gsxr front end but can't find info for what year gsxr would fit 77 GS550..I've found threads of people saying they did it but not discussing what they had to do to fit it onto the GS.
Powder Coat frame, wheels, odds and ends and give the motor a fresh coat of paint come late fall winter (long time off though)
Thanks in advance for any and all help! Love this website!
Oh almost forgot, the type of riding I do is pretty much all around, not too aggressive in turns (you can see why) and I ride back roads, highway, interstate if that helps. Again thanks so much!
