83 gs550 buildup

[kurty85]

I Wanted to pick an unusual bike for modifying and well i seem to have a penchant for picking unusual bikes: my first road bike was an MuZ 660, the second was a Bandit 400, third was this gs550, and now a tl1000s...
1983 gs550es with 7259 miles on the clock had a bad alternator so i stripped her down. Got Started with the front end, and mounted a 96 gsxr 750 front on it with 6 piston calipers. Back end is in progress right now with a gsxr 1100 swingarm and gsxr 750 5.5 wheel(some machining left to have done-still learning). Also mounted a hindle stainless full system from a gsxr 600(bolted right up to a 23 year old bike-thanks suzuki!)- r1 seat unit with r1 seat from tromex racing ready to go on and stock suzuki tank- not for long...
hardest part is those damn suzuki double carbs- well i found adaptors to mount 4 carbs and am working on mounting fzr 600 carbs. Tell me what yall think i think she'll be neat when done.

well finally got my hayabusa front wheel on and the srad discs also. now the gs550 is a rolling chassis...getting new d208's mounted tomorrow and the suspension dogbones from a gsxr 1000 will support the rear next week. cant wait to ride it for the first time with the light steering i know itll have...took ridiculous amounts of weight off from the swingarm, suspension linkages and entirely steel front end, hoping for 425 lbs dry when i get done... will post new pics soon

Hey Kurt. Welcome aboard mate. That's a nice job you are doing there. Interesting to see someone using such an old school base like the old GS. I guess if you are keeping the stock frame wand engine they'll be no need for any frame bracing either?
