Title: Project or Parts bike for sale
Post by: kilowop on March 10, 2024, 07:52:46 PM

Posting on behalf of the owner.  Please pass on to other riders on your list.  Thanks


1978 Suzuki GS - 750. Owner is an old timer, no longer allowed to drive/ride.  He would most likely accept any reasonable offer.
Pretty well complete. He has the air box for it. Side covers are not original. Exhaust pipes appear to be very good and are original. I ran my hand under the right side pipe/muffler and and found it was complete and not rusty. Left side I was unable to easily reach but was complete, with some surface rust. Reupholstered seat. Low mileage for the year, 52K. There is a set of engine guards, but not installed. Tires obviously old and would need replacing. This would be a good start for a project and is old enough to apply for collector status once brought back to good condition.
 The pipes alone are worth the trip to Kamloops to buy the bike. Contact me by Email for more info. Unable to forward photos on this site in recent times. Contact me if you'd like photos.

He's open to offers. I didn't try to turn the engine over. But this guy builds many great machines so knows what he is doing.  He has a McLaren Kit car. He found the LT-1 stock engine was a gas hog, and attracted too many Observations from the RCMP, so took it out and has it on a stand.  He substituted it with a Turbo 4 GM engine.   He has a Bandit 600 engine in a large Go-Kart, another Go-Kart with a large Snowmobile engine.  His latest projects, since he's not allowed to drive anymore, is to rig up small gas engines like Weed eaters, to power bicycles. He hasn't said what he wants for the bike but those pipes alone should make a $500 offer a starting point, with lots of good parts to be sold to restorers. Photos on request.
