The Slum Goddess is finally finished. I got the front end working. It seemed as if it was binding and just wasn't moving. I always thought I had 4" tubes, it had 4" spacers. Turns out I really have 6" over tubes and the previous owner did not have the correct spacers. I dropped some 6" spacers and now it works like it should. Also got the front brakes working and the front motor mount installed. The mid controls were put on a month or so ago and work awesome. This thing runs and rides like a dream.
Also got a ton of work done on the 550 suzuki. Finished up the frame, got the horse-shoe battery box mounted. New tires on the rare GR650 wheels, and a new set of carbs put on.
This thing has a great stance! Next up is clutch work, mount the rear fender and tall ass sissybar.
Just as a recap of what it was when it was first brought home.
ALSO got it running for the first time in over 10 years. Only a crappy cell video, but shes a growler!!!
Holy shit.. i thought i was the only one out there building a gs550.. when you cut your exhaust how did you change your jetting? i would love to know more about what you done to it..
