LINK BACK TO THE RIGID GS750
My 1981 Suzuki GS750E , I bought this in June of 2006 11k miles
ran great needed tires and the carbs set up ,, It had the Vetter Windjammer fairing bags and sissy bar , a real clash from
the 80's..

The head lights are actually two 5 inch fog lights with
the red neon glow around the outter edge, they are steel housing's so I cut the backs out of them and removed the 55W fog
light bulb, then I got the sealed beam bulbs out of a 1996 chevy cavalier. I got the cav bulbs at the junk yard, so I took
the metal insert that held the bulb in the light itself, I welded the metal inserts into the fog lights were I removed the
55W bulb, then I attached the two lights together for the streetfighter dual headlight look,, the lights now take low beam
9005 high beam 9006 bulbs. I didnt hook up the neon light , I didnt think a red light on the front of a motorcycle was a good
idea, but the red neon ring in the glass gives a nice look on the red bike.
I cut the red reflector tape in to .25 inch wide stripes
and pin striped the red to white on the tank and down the side panels ,, it is hard to capture the effect it has with a camera
unless I take the pictures in the dark ,, (PICTURE ABOVE OF TANK)
4-2007
pretty much done, got the bags on the back added a very short sissy/grab bar and put the aux driving lights on the front.

I stripped it down to the motor and frame and started from
there. sandblasting and painting everything, as you can see there some nice mods I came up with
The YOSHIMURA RS-3 exhaust came from a 2003 GSXR1100 , I took the complete exhaust and cut it every
point it was welded together , then I took my stock GS750E exhaust and cut it at every point it was welded at , then out of
the two exhaust I was able to build a header 4- into -1 with the YOSHI pipe on it ,
11-27-2006 FINISHED
,
Was able to get a little over
500 miles on it before the cold came , and it still suprises me how good these old tanks will run with a little T.L.C.
JULY 29,
2007
Changed rear wheel to a 1980 GS1100 16 inch wheel , fabricated a fairing
to cove the gauges. waiting on a 530 chain/sprocket kit to arrive.
