    Or a standard model with "E" wheels and brakes. Looking great so far. The stickers for the eng. covers and an orig. Suzuki "E" seat would make another huge difference... Hey Mike, you got picture of other side? Pipe.

      I made the seat if you look at the first picture when the bike was green...that's how the bike came to me.

        IMG_0661.jpgThis is the only right side pic I have. Just before paint. It has a Delkevic 4 into 1 sounds really good!​

          Thanks, I guess I's just being nosey. I've heard those Delkevic pipes have a good sound but never been around one that I know of. It doesn't look like what I'm accustomed to, it seems skinnier and lower hanging, not that that matters... Really looking good.

            My 1979 GS750 E has the "E" stamped on the frame, like GS750E-448xx.

                You forgot E forks
                can't have dual discs with only one caliper mount

                  The dual disc spoke front wheel in your first pic is very uncommon.
                  Was that something you put together or did it come from the previous owner?

                    Thought probably understood, can't have "E" brakes without a mount for the other side caliper. The spoked wheels came already drilled and tapped for the other rotor, just had a plastic disc hiding them.

                      it came from the previous owner. I am working on getting a freshly powder coated and newly spoked pair of rims trued for the bike. Why are the rims uncommon? The new set of rims (from e-bay used) are also twin rotor rims.

                        As far as i know Suzuki didn't offer a spoke wheel, dual disc set-up for any GS model in North America.
                        I believe it was offered in a few European countries and remember seeing a few pics of a GS1000S from Australia?
                        Certainly a few of us did the conversion here but not often seen.
