I'm only a state away, but wish I lived closer to you.. I might have been interested in the 72 550.
Are you parting them out on eBay or selling them complete?
If you like it, then you should ride it.

How does that compare to the 750 4 L/S ? I have never owned one of these early 4 L/S drums, to be honest, I didn't know that the smaller bikes had this drum too.....I had assumed the 550 and 380 had a similar 2 L/S like the T500.

No, the 550J and 750J had a 4LS brake. It was much better than the single disc on the 550.
I had an original 550J in 1972 and got a disc kit when the K model came out. My mate with a T500 bought it and was well chuffed.
The disc was crap in the wet so I went back to the 4LS with Ferodo green linings - much better. What was good enough for Crooks Suzuki's production racer was certainly good enough for me! The classic racers go mad for them and I've seen them go at £500+ just for the complete hub without a rim.
I'm still toying with putting the 4LS from my 550J on the K.

It wasn't enough brake on the 750 so that got twin discs on the K, the 550 got a single disc on the K.

The 380 brake was the same as the 250 and not enough brake. My mate had a (drum front) 380J in 1972 and Suzuki's answer was Ferodo green linings fitted at the factory in Chapel-en-le-Frith. He was the first to get it done and we had a tour round the factory while they did his brake.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Ouch...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972suzuki-gt75 ... ec&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Still beats £500+ and with the 13% local discount I could have my mother buy it
for me and drive down from Seattle to pick it up! :up:

Sadly it is not for me, I've never even paid that for a complete motorcycle... nice find!
Slow and steady may win the race, but without loud and fast it's just a waste

well i post things high on ebay cause of their fees, paypal fees and shipping. that's why i provide my number and call and work out a deal. alot of times i get offered way lower than my asking and i take it. cash in person is always the best.

in this case i feel pretty confident that i can get close to my asking. also i ship over seas so that helps me with my selling.
