    40$ '83 GS550ES project

    Way to go! This is what happens when someone basically throws away a good motorcycle. Or was it a flood victim? Anyway it?s a lot of fun to resurrect a dead to the world motorcycle. Keep posting.

    82Seca 750

    This?ll be my 3rd. I buy,refurbish and sell motorcycles. Other than the mufflers which will be replaced by the Mac the rest is just standard rehab on everything. All in great shape because of good storage. I look at a LOT of potential flips and you wouldn?t believe the terrible condition most...

    Shake During Deceleration?

    Most every ?bounce? situation I?ve had has been out of round or out of balance. Had a Super gas 71 Duster start shaking the slicks at speed turned out the wheel weights were not taped and came off. I have a 53 Buick restomod that has some custom wheels,one was .015 out of round and caused a shake.

    RFY shocks.

    Tried fitting them while I had things apart and they don?t fit unless I take off the helmet lock and maybe the lift bar. Anyone else run into this?

    Removing original engine cover emblems from my '77 gs750

    I like the reasoning behind that last post. I?ll tell my wife ? think about the money I could be spending if I wasn?t tied up on this project.:oHowever, she?s much smarter than me.

    Raising the rear of the 1100 Katana without changing the shocks

    I gotta ask: Why? Is it to much sag when you get on or a local styling thing? Suzuki has it pretty well dialed in and adjustable from the factory.

    Shake During Deceleration?

    Here?s something to think about. 83 GS 1100E.If I let go of the bars I?ve got a wobble that starts at about 25-30 and would continue to a tank slapper if I let it go. Got Dunlop 404s everything solid and tight. Have a slipstreamer windshield,quick release. Checked everything numerous times but...

    GS 1100E front bleeding

    Having a heckuva time bleeding front brakes. Took off wheels and calipers/ brackets for new pads, painting, general cleanup and now the lever is just a little soft. Did the same for the rear and it?s solid as it should be. I followed the service manual procedure for bleeding and they are usable...

    Brakes/suspension

    I have a progressive set in the forks put in about 1984. Seem to do fine although the seals are allowing the air to leak out. I see you have 5 different spring weights for 83 1100s,what’s the stock spring rate?
