    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi All,
I'm new here to the forum and I'm wondering if anyone could post some pictures of there cafe racer style GS bikes.

I have a 1979 GS550 which I'm looking to convert to cafe racer style, but cant seem to find any pictures of GS models searching the web.

I'm also looking for ideas for a replacement swingarm, anyone changed one.
 
How "cafe" do you want?
Something like this?
Pretty much as it came from the factory, except the exhaust and seat
and steering damper and fork brace and.......a few other things.
This is a 1980 GS1000S. mine........

This is a nice GS 1000. The only problem is that the site is in german.

Anyway, worth for the pics

Also try searching for the words "cafe racer suzuki" in google?s image finder, you'll find some interesting ideas to cop... ejem... to inspirate yourself.

I think that GS's are good machines for the Cafe Racer style, so go on with your project! we want to see some pics!
