Receiving a late 70's gt550... input?
« on: October 15, 2009, 10:42:48 AM »
Hey all,

I've searched for an hour or two around on these forums trying for information on the gt550's.  Suzuki's 3cyl 2smoker.  I'm getting one with a damaged front end and no title for 60 bucks... My plan is to rebuild the motor with some minor work - and put it into my cb550 frame.  Now - stock to stock - what motor would you choose for a cafe platform? and why?

I've always wanted a 2smoker to ride on the road - and I've always found it hard to get ahold of any vintage bigger 2smoke motor/bike cheap.  I'm all about finding basket cases and fixing them up and this seems to be the perfect deal for me.

Anyone have any input?
