Gsx750 ET

[nickyboy.4]

Just bought this project bike, have the reg number but need to apply for a v5, frame number starts gs75x- then six numbers, is this the right format for this bike, it's on the dvla database as first used 03/04/80m i believe it to be a et model as i've had a few gs's and it's the slightly later one.

Any help much appreciated!

As Wraith says it's an ET, but it's got an 1100 swing arm and it looks like 1100 clocks. 7/11 maybe?

Not thought that much about it-get it running first also need a tank and seat, why would it have a 1100 swinging arm does it allow a wider tyre?

The 1100 swing arm is a better, stiffer swing arm than the steel tube 750 one. Also easyer to get a more modern 4.5" rear wheel in if you wanted

And pretty much a direct swap so a common 'upgrade'

That's nice to know but i think i'll have to get it running first but definitely a nice blank canvas

If you know anybody selling a tank and seat for one or any idea of replacements please let me know!

[wraith]

Tanks come up on Eblag now and again, keep in mind there are two types the UK type (which is what you want ) and the USA type which is smaller.

Seats are hard to find.

you've got me thinking now, what wheel would i actually need and length wise what are the closest usd forks off a suzuki i could fit?

thanks for your help by the way

[wraith]

With the swing arm you have a bandit 600 rear wheel.

As for USD forks, early gsxr slingshot are the longest but have a look through the project pages as lots of different things in there

cheers mate

Whats  the beginning of your black engines number?

[nickyboy.4]

The number starts GS75X-100***

Does that mean anything to you?

[gsx1100e]

It is 750cc engine and I think someone painted it black. I'm not expert, but at least what I have seen only later ones were originally black. Also Chrome caps on cylinder head look like early gsx.

The 1100 engines all have a oil way with a chrome 17mm but in the end above the ATU cover, the 750 engines don't  easy way to tell without eng numbers

Something new each day! Again  one thing to check in these old Suzuki's

Still finishing off my other project so haven't got round to starting this one, i'm finding lots of things about these and really looking forward to starting to strip it, it's quite hard finding the bits i need for it but i've got time
