Hello. 1973 Suzuki GT380. V.I.N. GT38032906 Here is an original GT380!! Just like she rolled off the showroom floor except she is now almost 40 years old. This is a vintage time capsule for sure. 6 speed. 2 stroke, Triple cylinder. The bike was running fine until the plastic timing gear inside the right cover cracked and this caused it to lose spark. This is all it needs and it will run again. I found one on Ebay for $49.00. And, the bike is an original with all the original parts to this bike!!!!! The fork boots are soft. The exhaust pipes on this motorcycle are excellent. The gauges are the original gauges as are all the parts on the bike. The seat has a few rips in it but it is the original seat. Has K and N filters too. Needs a new battery too. IF I get time, i am going to put a new battery in it and the new plastic gear but please do not count on that in your bid as I am swamped right now at work. I ordered the new title in my name finally. It will be here in about 10 days, maybe less. Thanks for bidding and good luck!!! PAY PAL ONLY FOR PAYMENT!!!! PLEASE READ TERMS OF MY AUCTION BEFORE YOU BID. PAYMENT BY PAY PAL ONLY. $500 NON REFUNDABLE EARNEST DEPOSIT DUE WHEN YOU WIN THE BIKE. THE BALANCE MUST BE PAID WITHIN 24 HOURS BY PAY PAL. I WILL SEND YOU AN INVOICE TO PAY FOR THE BALANCE. Thanks. Tom BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE TO FIND THEIR OWN SHIPPER AND I WILL BE HAPPER TO HELP YOUR SHIPPER LOAD THE BIKE. The 1973-year's GT380K had a 275 mm brake disc at the front, mounted on the right side of the wheel with the caliper in front of the fork leg. It was and improvement compared to the drum brake — if the weather was dry. The early Japanese disc brakes were hopeless in the wet. A warning sticker was attached to the fork leg saying ”Caution — braking performance at beginning of the apllication may change with wet brake disc”. Modern brake pads and Goodridge hoses can improve the original braking power and cure sponginess. Some changes were made to the frame and exhaust system to provide more ground clearance and reduce vibration. Presented in April 1973 (Japan, B3).
