Re: GT500C
these weren't supplied by Suzuki as standard as far as I know,
but Heron Suzuki fitted them on the last models to help encourage to shift the last remaining stock.

Re: GT500C
I wouldn't know for sure anyway.
I got my info from a book Suzuki two strokes by Roy Bacon.
also it had a single disc on the rear wheel unlike the drum in the picture.

Re: GT500C
Your right John I've just looked it up in Roy Bacon's book I had forgotten that there was a picture of the GT500 with cast wheels and rear disc. The one in your pictures is a formula 500. According to Bacon they were done up by the English importers.
