I need the following items to help restore a 75 GT550.
1 x rear wheel spacer, the small one at the sprocket carrier.
2 x carburetor arms, these connect the throttle bar o the carb sliders.
2 x "Suzuki Motor Company. LTD" decals for the side panels. I can't find these in any decal set available.
Anyone help.

The arms and spacer are available here: http://www.motorcitypowersports.com/default.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Click on the OEM parts finder and follow the links to your bike.
As for the decals, I sold the pair I had a few weeks back. They show up on eBay from time to time. Never try to spread the carburetor arms to make them easier to remove. They break every single time. I can offer you some broken ones

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: 1975 GT550 parts needed
Check with Andre at http://www.reproductiondecals.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for the decals. He's just down the road in Kitchener!
It could be that Suzuki has a trade mark on that one though, maybe that's why it's not available?
If you need a sample I have a cover with the decal on it that you can borrow!

Re: 1975 GT550 parts needed
A little more than the spacer, but thought you might be interested:
I have a full wheel assembly for a Suzuki GT550. It has a brand new Dunlop Roadmaster 4.25/85H18 tire which was professionally mounted and balanced. (new tire strap and tube as well, never driven, sticker is still on tire). The sprocket is in good shape. The break pads may have another season left on them. Assembly includes axle, spacer and rear axle adjustment brackets.
This came off of a 1980 Yamaha 650 I restored. Some previous owner had changed the back wheel to a Suzuki GT's. The sprocket ratio was out of this world for off the line, you could just about climb a telephone pole with the bike. I had the new tire professionally installed and balanced and was going to change the sprocket back to the Yamaha standard. When the Yamaha sprocket arrived, and the bolt pattern didn't match I was clued into the fact that this wheel was not stock. With a little research at a Suzuki dealer I found out it is from any GT 1972-1977. So the tire has never been used on the road. I can send pictures and additional details.
Please reply or call and leave a message at 616/363-3403 with interest or offer.
