Suzuki GS description

One of a kind custom cafe racer. "The Black Widow" based on a low mileage Suzuki GS 550. Runs and drives well. Jetted and tuned perfectly for straight through mufflers and pod filters. Pulls well all the way to the 9500 RPM redline. Both starters work. The charging system works. No leaks. 


Here are a a few of the modifications and new parts installed:

  • Smoothed fuel tank with perfectly clean, rust free interior, with custom black paint sporting a red hourglass.
  • Genuine black leather seat with spider web stitching
  • 100 LED tail/stop/ turn light in spider pattern
  • New Emgo fairing with smoked Plexiglas windscreen
  • Rebuilt Carburetors and petcock
  • New wheel bearings and seals front and back
  • New steering stem bearings and seals
  • New fork seals
  • New tires with less than 200 miles, Matching Pirrelli brand
  • New battery
  • New headlight
  • New clutch and springs
  • New cables, speedometer, tachometer, clutch
  • Front caliper rebuilt
  • New stainless braided brake lines
  • New drive chain
  • New engine seals mounted when side covers were off for polishing
  • Installed all stainless cap head socket screws on side covers, controls, etc.  (no more fighting with rusted Phillips heads)
  • New handle bars. I used dirt bike bars to get a little height, as I can no longer ride in a sport bike position.
  • New grips
  • Polished handlebar levers
  • New bar end mirrors
Well, that's about it. I've got way more time and money in this bike than I will ever get back, but I've bought a cruiser that I CAN ride without pain, so this one can go. I know I will regret it after all is said and it's done. I'm open to offer.

The only things left are: the red LED gear indicator light has one element out. The cylinder head nuts are somewhat rusty. One of the LED in the Stop light needs replacing, but I have some of those and will furnish. Actuating the front brake does not actuate the brake light. The rear does. 

 Ebay requires some sort of title listing. This bike does not have a title, nor is one required in Georgia. It was registered and tagged by me within the last 2 months, and a copy of registration along with a notarized bill of sale will be provided. Please check with your states requirements before bidding.

Suzuki GSX-R day at Snetterton

Wed, 21 Jul 2010

I have to hold my hands up and make a confession. I have completely changed my mind about Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 K9. Back in the depths of winter I rode our long termer and found myself (without trying) doing jail-sentence speeds by doing nothing other than short shifting through the gear on half throttle.
