Suzuki 2 Strokes

Well, Ive been posting a lot of questions, gathering info and parts. Ive decided to start a thread on my GT750 build. This will be my first bike Ive built so it will be a good learning experience. I picked up a couple Buffalos, a 72 with a frozen motor and a beat up 74 with a rebuilt motor.

Im not really shooting for a Cafe style bike, but something low, longer, almost like a salt flat bike.

Heres the 72.



Heres the 74.



And heres the plan.

I picked up a set of forks from Kevin (Drag Bike, and a very nice guy) which will lower the front a lot and I had the swing arm stretched about 3 inches. Here it is stripped down to see how she is gonna sit.

I had a small tank made for the oil (you can see it in the photos). I wanted to clean up the mid section and will move the electronics to under the seat. I had to cut the number plate out a little to clear the shocks, not sure if I like the look. I also cleaned up the frame, got rid of all the tabs that wont be used.

Its so much fun to see the creative mind at work .. have a good time with your project

This will be an interesting build to follow.

wow....very nice....you are making a ton of progress. I really like your plan (photo). Ive seen lots of pic of modified GT750's over the years, but have not seen that one. That bike will turn a lot of heads when your done....in fact, its already started. Just catching Dave's attention has already put you in another league. Keep up the great work!

Nice project. I love that low mean street drag race Hot Rod look. It never occurred to me to use a Norvil race seat. It works well.

That 74 has short pipes! Did a PO cut and weld them?

i like the look of your "minds eye" of your custom bike.
very much a one off.

odbuffalo,
Killfile from ADV here. Good to see your post up on the forums here as well.
I can't wait to see more progress, as I mentioned on ADV, I quite like what you've done with that seat!

Hey man If you ever decide to get rid of the Chambers from that 72 let me know.I have no Idea What Kind they are but my Dads 74 has a set thats Crushed and I would be Very Interested in those.
