This is my build thread for my 1984 Suzuki GSX550ES. I paid $550 for it, and it shows, the tank was rusted beyond fixing, missing blinkers, bad brakes, questionable… everything. But it was cheap, and it’s my first full street motorcycle.
i started by getting it home and taking all the fairings off to see what all it needed, definitely a battery, turn signals, fuel tank, petcock and sender unit(can’t find those, but I did find a tank for it) and at least the carbs gone through
I did put a new tank on it the other day, fix some of the plastics mounting points being broken, put turn signals on the rear, new battery, but it still needs brakes, carb work, and a sender unit(I don’t know what to do about this..)
As I do work on it, I’ll post pictures on here as I go, and hopefully get some much needed help from you guys on here as I’m sure I’ll need it
