Hiya dude, just had a quick look at mine whilst the tank is off. Above the frame number and slightly anti-clockwise is a lug probably 25mm x 3mm.
will try to get a photo when it's light, hope this helps
Cheers Wilf thanks for this

Does anyone with a 750 or 1100 ET frame know if there should be a recess or lugs on the top of the steerer tube for the steering lock to lock onto/into?
My lock works but I wonder if the lugs or recess have been removed by previous owner before it was powder coated.
tried looking online but non of the diagrams of the frame show this detail,all help or pics appreciated

I reckon it's a late N model mate see here

Added some of this supposed to stabilise fuel and stop ethanol doing its worst

A few suspension tweaks today,sorted the rear indicators for now and gave a little polish with some uber wax which is good stuff
Test ride went ok until I lost the back end and nearly went into orbit with a nice high side should know better but got a bit carried away..
Oh well forgot it was 36 years old.....went into the bend at the same speed as my track prepped non suzook.
Couldnt stop laughing got home told the missus and she gave me a bollocking

Not used on a GS but they are cable compatible and you can buy additional options for different bikes when you purchase see example info here
Loads of folk on here have used them and can give you more up to date info

Badges arrived from Holland ready to fit at the weekend,still cheaper than buying from U.K. Even with the postage on top.

On nights tonight so spent this morning sorting a few mechanical issues found after a quick blast at the weekend.
Treated the alloy bits with wheel sealant to make the task of cleaning less of a ball ache.
Ordered some badges and decals off eblag,and need to sort engine breather and rear indicators at the weekend

Fucking hell,that's shiny,what's your plans for it?
Cheers Paul
Mainly polishing this year
as I still have to sort my 2 stroke money pit out
so for now a bit of rebadging and more polishing....
I need to save up cash for engine mods,big bore kit and maybe a supercharger
if it's cheaper than the turbo option.
I volunteered for permanent nights until August to try and get some extra cash.

Picked her up today,first mods done stickered up...must be worth another 10mph now.

Was that in Streetfighters years back ?
Don't think so it's been off the road since 98 and was still standard Suzuki blue until 2 years ago when the bloke i'm buying it off started restoring it.
He didn't mention it being in the mag when I went to view it.
Got myself an ET......nearly
in Air Cooled

Yes shortened a touch by previous owner and seat shortened to suit using original seat base then recovered.
