Some would argue with me about this being a bobber but IF the definition of a bobber is a stripped down basic motorcycle with all the unnecessary accessories removed and some modifications to the fenders Then this is a bobber!This is the GS750L with the TSCC (twin swirl combustion chamber) motor which was built only a few years. Suzuki built it for performancewith dual overhead cams and 4 Mikiuni carbsand the special swirl in the combustion chambers for more air flow and it does preform real well.Before this bike was mine the previous owner ran it low on oil. I overhauled the motor for him in my bike shopand installed another crankshaft all new bearings seals and gaskets. A professional valve job was performed on the cylinder head. His bill from me to do this was nearly $1200.00. He rode the bike very few miles after the overhaul before buying another bike and parking this one in his garage for a couple of years.I purchased the bike cleaned it up cleaned andsynchronized the carbs. Itemporarilyinstalled an oil pressure gauge on the motor and made sure the oil pressure was correct then took the gauge back off.I removed the fuel tank and cleaned it out with muratic acid and lined the inside with Kremes tank liner. This tank (at one time) had been painted with a high dollar paint job. It is a candy style paint with metal flake and purple ghost flames.The paint on the tank does have some nicks and dings in it but not bad enough to justify repainting it. Since both the right and left hand side frame covers were missing I purchased some and did some body work on them. The problem with matching their color with the gas tank color was that the quart of paint that I needed including primer would have cost me $450so I bought some paint that was pretty close ( ? ) to the color of the tank and settled for that.There is a difference in the colors and it varies with the way the sun is shining on it.I felt like the wiring was not up to par and wanting the bike to be dependableso I stripped off all wiring and electronics and rewired the bike with out theunnecessaryelectricalstuff like fuel gauge signal lightsand gear shiftindicator. Bobber? I moved the oil pressure indicator light over in between the speedometer and the tachometer.The bike had no mufflers on it but I had a couple of Harley mufflers that I installed on it. The seat had been poorly recovered and was in bad shape so I had it recovered.The front and rear tires both have quite a bit of wear left in them and the brakes are good.I have now spent more money on this bike then I intended to but i'm done with it now and it is for sale.It could use a little more work to make it look better but it is a very strong running bike.I have not registered the bike in my name yet because I have four other bikes and have always intended to sell this one. My motorcycle shop specializes in vintage Harley's Triumphs and BSA's but I occasionally make and investment in other brands.The clean title is still in the previous owners name and I have all the Texas paper work necessary to transfer into the buyers name. At one time in the bikes history someone registered it as a bonded title which just means someone lost the original title at one time. There is nothing wrong with a bonded title I'm just trying to keep the buyer aware of everything.If I don't sell the bike soon I will register it and begin riding it myself.Please email me with any questions.
