is it the previous owners prerogative to throw away the airbox on every t500??

You can get it from Suzuki for about 250......DOLLARS, not pounds.

I like it except for the long swingarm.

Yeh! Clackamas is right across the river from me - suburb of Portland Oregon. (More commonly known as --- crack a my ass)

The typical seller around here wants the last fifty-cents in a transaction due to the fact that his/her stuff is better than anybody else's. It also seems to be the area where, even when you make a deal, whether you are buying or selling, they always have to check with their wife first.

Therefore not a real active market here in the great Northwest.

Not a bad policy to follow in my experience!

Step away from that Cobra and walk silently over to someone else who has a way better looking example if youre going to spend $4000 on a BIN.
Wife checkers need not apply,,LOL

Heh...

I'm sure this guy's heart is in the right place, but some of the 'features' leave a bit to be desired.

These made me giggle:
'All focus is on control, precision, and performance.' - dude, it's a GT750, not a Desmosedici. Apart from putting a GT motor in a modern rolling-chassis, there's no way there is a great deal of control, precision or performance.

'Electric thermostatically controlled fan.' - don't all '72's have one of these, from the Factory?

'Ultralight fiberglass front fender.' - well that'll cut the total unsprung weight of the front end down no end... NOT. A standard front wheel/disc assembly still weighs a shitload.

'Seat was custom made by Corbin' - wow, they got the ugly stick out and gave this masterpiece a hell of a flogging. It'd want to be comfortable coz it looks bloody awful.

Despite my sarcastic comments, I sincerely hope it sells this for him time. Could be a reasonable start point for a resto, but I sure wouldn't give him much for it.

Cheers
Paul

This owner did what Suzuki did to some '75 bikes when the model year changed, they (Suzuki) produced a conversion kit for the '75 bikes and made them look like '76s. I never much cared for the factory side cases and top box but kinda like the fairing, looks like an old Avon.
