I always brag about how much blood sweat and tears I put into my projects and only a couple of them over the years were just sweat. Keep at it though.

750 TSCC Rebuild or Replace?
- Thread starter Rich82GS750TZ
- Start date
Made good progress this weekend. Frame and front end are all back together. Working on re-establishing the grounds on the rear turn signals. Will finish cleaning up the electrics this week and test. Maybe if I get my base gasket and new pistons/rings this week I can get the engine back together and installed next weekend.
That's so beautiful, Rich!
I can't imagine my bike not having dust, grime, oil...
Taking your time and seeing the results...that's so soothing to the motorcycle soul.
Thanks for sharing...this means alot, especially during this time.

Thanks Ed. One grimeless ride is all I want. Haha
Ed, since you?ve got a T or 2, I?ve got a question for ya. Studying the parts fiches as one does with such a project, I?ve become aware that my bike didn?t have these 2 frame pieces #17 & #18 on the pic below. I can?t imagine where they would go, or what purpose they would serve. Do you have and pics or thoughts?

They are likely plastic panels for in front of the tank on the frame.

Thanks. I’m not looking to buy any. I haven’t missed them for the last 15+ Years
They're on the frame parts fiche for the "T", and that frame is different from the "L". Just a curiosity, is all. Things that make you go :-k Didn't mean to derail my own thread.
Back to work. Rear turn signals with new grounds and wires sorted.
looks purty
Smooth move, Exlax!:beaten:
taking the rear wheel apart to clean, I managed to break the nub off of one of the rubber wedges. Would this be a problem if I put it back this way? Suzuki calls it a SHOCK ABSORBER, REAR DRUM. $7.84 for 1 or all 6? PO typically will show how many are required of a part. This shows quantity of 1.
If I order and get just one, will replacing just one have any adverse effects? If I order and get all 6, that’s fine but seems an unlikely price for all 6.
your collective knowledge is appreciated.

Not sure about the pricing, but it would be fine to replace just one. Over here that would be called a cush drive - it takes up the shock when the sprocket carrier engages the rear wheel.
Thank you. I’ll order it tonight. I’m still a few weeks from getting the engine back together so it’s really not a delay. Was just hoping to get the back wheel on tonight so I could sit on the bike and make vroom-vroom noises.

For anyone else, like me, who may have been completely ignorant of what the cush drive is, or does, here's a short video explanation. STONG LANGUAGE, but informative.
