Engine rebuild.

Found the overheating problem. Blocked cooling channel..
So why not rebuild the engine.. It is the only thing left not refurbished. Pictures shows the before and the result.

Suzuki GT750

Rebuilding my old Suzuki GT750 - A custom project.


The first pictures of my Suzuki GT750. Project started in
2004 when I received the bike from my farther.
He started riding it back in the 80'ts.



First run after approximate 20 years! Had not work on the project for 6 years.. Finally
Only 3 hours needed to clean carbs and ignition. Mixed fuel with oil, just to be sure. In case the lubricant system failed to work.  Next step disassembly.



Collecting parts and frame from paint.Frame is painted black. Wheels is glass blasted
together with brake callipers.



So far so good! Still a lot of work to be done..
Started to fit all the electric parts. The wiring/electric is not in
the best conditions and still needs a lot of work.



Latest picture. New gas tank mounted. The next job is to lower the headlamp and center consol.
