    MOAR. Picked up two more 750’s

    Two more added to the fleet.
    Have a title for the bike with the clubman bars and the other is a donor.
    One good engine and a set of carbs. Likely do a mild cafe.
    Parfs bike has some vintage buckhorn bars - kinda crazy looking.

    Can baffles still be bought for the Vance and Hines pipes? Both of mine are empty.

      Sorry, it was hard to tell what they looked like hanging upside down from the ceiling.

          Figuring out which baffle is required could be tricky. A lot of these are for v-twins.
          Shop Vance & Hines Motorcycle Exhaust Baffles at JPCycles.com today. Enjoy our easy returns, top-notch customer service, and tech support!

          Pricey too.

          You should be able to fab something up. Just measure the muffler o.d. 4"? and look on E-bay, there are plenty of universal baffles.

                I can read "$200" and maybe "crashed into side of car".

                  pretty much it. I have the front end to repair it.

                  picked this one up Friday. I’ve always liked the “E” models. Needs a head gasket.

                    So you think you'll carve up the katana and upgrade some GS parts?

                      i thought about it but really isn’t worth it tome I have the $200 katana rolling again. I had a whole front end In the shed.
                      After mixing and matching some parts - parts from a 99 Onto an 89- it’s time to start some of the other repairs to it. I’ve had it running. Needs carb work and both side engine covers leak oil from the wreck.

                      The katanas have 41 mm minimally adjustable forks and mono shock, 17” wheels and twin pot brakes . Better than a 70’s/80’s Gs but if I were do that sort of upgrade I’d prefer gixxer parts or the like. Usd forks for certain. Kinda kill the looks of the Gs for me though

                      Not much money in fixing these but I have a lot of fun and learn something new every time.
                      Always have a different bike to ride
                      Ive had a few other bikes I’ve put back on the road in the last year. Fzr600r kz400 zx600r vfr800 bit I’ve decided to stick with Suzuki’s moving forward.
