1975 Suzuki GT750 Rebuild


Starting Point
While there are many clubs, and lists where people are willing and able to offer help on Suzuki GT750 Water Buffalo repairs, etc., there are actually very few sources of 'here is how I did it'  information that a person can reference when bringing one of these old classics back to life. The only comprehensive guide to rebuilding Suzuki GT750's available on the web that I'm aware of, is the one by Gunnar Forsgren which is really excellent, and as a result is a tough act to follow as he has set the bar pretty high.

I have restored two other GT750's previously to original factory specification - not as "show" bikes, but as daily riders. For this one I wanted to try something a little bit different. To the right is what I'm starting with - it is a 1975 GT750 frame for which I have most of the basic parts and pieces. This site will serve as a repository for whatever material I generate from my BLOG located here.

This project is my contribution to the Global Water Buffalo community - hopefully a few folks will find it useful !
