EARTH MOTO - masuro
Suzuki gs 500 1979
A Slovak customer asked me to rebuild his 1979 Suzuki GS500. He had a vision of a flat tracker kind of bike. But not all the plans go so easy…
Our customer got into a trouble and the project was in danger just before assembling the bike. We made an agreement to buy the donor bike from him.
So now the bike is ready to sell to somebody else.
May be it is you…
The fork is from a big brother GS 1100, The triple tree clamp from Royal Enfield 650.
The plate holder is currently made just to fit Slovak plate. However it could be made to fit any reg. plate.
The rear lights wires are inside the dual tube plate holder so the look is very clean.
The superior Avon Roadmaster II tires are fitted as our standard.
A simple 5,5 inch classic headilight. ‘No LED, I want to be able change the bulb on my own’, customer said. However the blinkers are LED Highsider Proton in custom CNC made aluminum brackets slid to the fork stanchions.
This combination of British Racing Green tank and brown faux leather seat was one of the last customers decision.
We must say we like it a lot.
