recentl y rebuilt vintage 1978 Suzuki gs550. has been gone through a frame up restoration many many new parts custom 70's vintage paint job. new clutch newer tires truly a find of its kind. Attempted to keep it as much factory as possible using factory replacement parts. the seat is original although it has two minor scars but being it was original I kept it instead of replacing it or recurring. I just lower the seat to approximately 27 inches. I am 5 foot 9 and can sit with my feet planted firmly on the ground. which is very hard to do on a normal 70's cruiser.
