Suzuki GT500A – Restoration 98% complete
Where do I start ………

I built this bike up to show standard and have spent a great deal of time and money on it.

Unfortunately due to ill heath I am unable to finish it.

As you can see from the photos it has been finished to a very high standard.

A brief description of work carried out :

Frame has been blasted and powder coated

New swinging arms bushes and bearings

Crank has been done by Chris Appleby that included balancing

Crank case is polished

Wheels have been respoked in stainless and hubs polished. They are original rims in very good condition and new continental tyres

Fitted

Rechroming to include – Exhausts, mudguards, chain guard, headlamp ears, headlamp bowl, tail lamp support bracket. Kick start, handle bars and gear lever

Carbs have been bead blasted and rebuilt

Tank and side panels professionally painted

Coils reworked by Rex Speed Shop and new CDI fitted

New old stock clocks in Brown

New chain and sprockets

Seat professionally covered

Front caliper reconditioned with new pads, new brake hoses and new master cylinder

A lot of polished stainless steel fasteners used

The air box is not showing in the photos but I have it

Now to list the remaining jobs outstanding :

Kick start does not return on its own

Small 2 stroke oil leak when on the side stand

The carbs and oil pump need setting up

There is a problem with the ignition switch. The bike will not turn off by the ignition switch, only by the kill switch. Not sure what the fault is

I have had the bike running.

V5 present

Tank and seat have been placed on the bike loose for the photos

The bike was originally a American import

Happy to talk through any questions.
