Honestly looks like 88/97 katana 600 wheels and forks, if they are thats a 3.5 out back and a 3 up front should be a 150/80 on the rear i believe?..
 
Ground down the pivots for the swingarm on the frame and got it mounted up this weekend. Have to move the battery box back a bit and had to spin the shock around so it left room for it.

Playing around with the original fender and found the undertail to go on also. Think I will weld back on the cut off subframe and mount the electronics between the 2 seat brackets instead of on the side. Tank needs to go though. Will have to figure out how to mount the top of the shock. Some thick steel is in store.

So I am trying to come up with a name for this. Since it is a 1984 GS750E Sport, and I have GSXR600 parts, wanted to combine the 2. Maybe GS750R, GS750R Sport, GS750X??? Any ideas. Was thinking about going with white, orange and grey, but really like fluorescent yellow with blue and red.

The white/orange/great like this but with white wheels and orange rim tape.

With the yellow, I like the rims yellow with blue tank and yellow racing stripe in the tank with Red Suzuki and red accents.

Going by this real quick paint test this weekend, it has to be the orange white and grey.

No wonder I had a hard time starting and keeping it running. Pin hole in one diaphragm, 1 the needle won't come out as it is green and this one is all fuzzy and has a solid green deposit in the bowl.

Was on vacation for a week and did some work to the bike, but not picture worthy. Drilled out 2 broken bolts in one of the exhaust cylinders and tried to get the broken bolt out of the stator cover side. Broke off a screw extractor in it and had to spend a couple hours with a dremel and bit to get it all out. Now to tap the holes. Also bought a welder to learn how to weld and do stuff on the frame i need. A buddy of mine works at a steel manufacturing plant and told me to come get some scrap steel to use and practice welding. Got a tour and he told me if I need anything made up to draw it out and he will get it in a run. So I am waiting to see if I get a shock mount made up for me instead of trying to make it myself. Also removed the races and bearing from the GSXR front stem and put the new bearings in. Other than that I played around with some paint stripes and colours on the tank again.
 
Called Suzuki Canada and they told me the VIN they can't find and to contact Suzuki USA. THey couldn't find it til I gave them my engine number. My registration papers for insurance say it iis a 1984 GS750E Sport, but Suzuki USA says it is a Canadian GSX750EFE or the US equivalent is 1984 GS700ESE. So I now know what parts to order.
 
Got a couple parts and did a bit of work on it the last few days. Going to have to replace a fork seal and tire on my CBR250R soon, so the GS will sit a bit.

Got a 2007 R1 Tail section on the weekend. Took the rear rearsets off and the fender while I play with where it will go. Right now I just have it laying on top of the orginal subframe, but will remove that when I get a tank so I can line it all up. I am getting my shock mount this week from my friend, but since I will be removing the subframe I have designed up a different one and will get that made. Also got my handlebar risers and mounted them.

Also, when removing the broken bolt and extractor I noticed, it looks like the resin used for electronics where the magnets are is cracked. Does anyone know if it is ok for me to remove most of that or is is supposed to be there in the first place? Thx

Made a rolling workbench also. Really helps to move it around and up higher for me to work on it.

Got my shock bracket from my buddy at the steel manufacturing plant and spot welded it on so I can see how the suspension works, until I decide on what I am doing with the tail. I have him making another one to try if I remove the current subframe. Also grabbed a box of assorted pieces they were scrapping.
