1984 Suzuki GS750 ES Cafe Racer build

[daviesway]

Hey peeps,

I am new to the forum, I've searched high and low for write ups on cafe racers and its seems that all modifications are preference based... can anyone provide a general rule of thumb, specifically to GS Line?

Anyone have a link for a repair manual? Recommend good websites for parts?

Its a 1984 GS750 es, I've stripped the fairings off and I want to start fab work, putting on the headlights and adding a new cluster... what's safe to delete? A lot of the bikes I am seeing are showing all motor, is there a wire tuck write up somewhere here? Anything I can remove without messing up the "rideability" or stability? Once again I am in the pre fab stage here, I appologize in advanced if I didn't look throughly enough here, google seems to be prodominantly honda Cb write ups, which are helpful, but obviously not make specific.

I cant gelp you with specifics, BUT I would recommend saving the original bits you remove in case you ever decide to return it to stock. Judging from the tail, it looks like you may have a decent set of plastics. You could always sell it to fund your project if you have no intent to go back to stock.

Id say there isn't a baseline build for a cafe, its whatever your wallet and imagination can mustar up. As far as the wire tuck my route is primarily under the seat, and extend the wiring relocate the battery under the tail. Most of the members on here are biased to stock builds. So you might be able to sell what your not using.

Hey. I am going to look at this exact bike forca project. Wondering how you have made out with the modifications. Was originally looking at an 850gs but this opportunity came up. Any pictures or advice would be greatly appreciated.
