Suzuki Other description

One of a kind custom cafe racer. "The Black Widow" based on a low mileage (12,259) Suzuki GS 550. Runs and drives good. 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 stitching100 LED tail/stop/ turn light in spider patternNew Emgo fairing with smoked Plexiglas windscreenRebuilt Carburetors and petcockNew wheel bearings and seals front and backNew steering stem bearings and sealsNew fork sealsNew tires, tubes, wheel liners with less than 200 mis, Matching Pirrelli brandNew batteryNew headlampNew clutch and springsNew cables, speedometer, tachometer, clutchFront caliper rebuiltNew stainless braided brake linesNew drive chainNew engine seals mounted when side covers were off for polishingInstalled all stainless cap head socket screws on side covers, controls, etc. (no more fighting with rusted Phillips heads)New handlebars.

I've got way more time and money in this bike than I will ever get back,The only things left are: the red LED gear indicator light has 1 element out. The cylinder head nuts are somewhat rusty. 1 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. I ignore spammers who ask "Is it still available" If ad is up, it is still available. I won't ship or deliver. No paypal, cash only, in person.

DePuniet Joins Waters On Yoshimura Suzuki For Suzuka 8-Hour
