1976 Suzuki GT500. I bought this bike several years ago as a basket case. I rebuilt the carbs and rode it around for 3 years and put about 4,000 miles on it. It sat for a couple of years in the garage and I decided to fix it up. One good thing was the bike had 6,400 original miles when I bought it, and the inside shows it. I took apart the motor with the intention of rebuilding it but I only needed to replace the seals and gaskets. I put a set of chambers on it I bought from Jemco in Tx. The bike ran really lean and I holed a piston. So now it has two new OEM Suzuki .05 over pistons, new rings, new wrist pins, new needle bearings and a fresh bore. The bike comes with a main Jet kit from120 to 135. The bike runs NICE! The bike also comes with two extra engine cases complete with gears and crank shafts. One case has a 75-76 crank with pointless ignition and has one bent rod. The other crank is pre 75 with points. One set of gears is good the other is noisy in 5th. I have two extra jugs that only need a bore job, One left side head, an extra set of carbs and a box full of other misc parts. It's a lot of fun but I have a '75 Suzuki GT750 I want to fix up and need some cash to do it. *Note: the mileage is approximate. I'm unsure of the actual miles the bike has a used speedo on it but the original was 6,400 and working when i bought it. I replaced it because the glass was broken. It was between 10,000 and 11,000 when I switched the speedo and tore the motor down. You can see the condition of the gears and cases in the pics. It has all new OEM gaskets. I haven't put more than 500 on it since. here is a link to a video of me riding the bike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjc-BnPZoKk
