I bought a 550 new and had chromed 3-1 Bromlech pipes fitted to it. Very comfy bike, and handled OK, but at 70 mph it used to get around 30mpg. Ended up selling it to a friend and I was shocked to discover you could hear it about 2 miles away when he rode it at night. Had never really noticed the noise as the rider.
Thanks guys...it was a lot of fun and the best part is I have ANOTHER 75 and this one may receive even more performance work to it when I finally get to it.
Beautiful bike and very nice job. I just restored myself an other classic bike of that period, a 1972 Kawasaki 750 H2. To see the restoration of this bike make a youtube search for: Kawasaki 750 h2 gearbox
1975, that would make it an M or an A model (please correct me if I'm wrong) I had one myself once upon a time, they had chromed bores (Suzuki called it SCEM & used it on the RE5 too - & it has returned as a cylinder coating on the latest cylinder liner-less GSXRs). That was what always put me off having mine ported/tuned - I was told it would soon cause the chrome to flake & peel away from the bore. I suppose it's more common (& probably a better process/job now). Don't suppose you have had her dyno'd?
No bore coatings on the street two strokes, at least not in '75. I also have built multiple GT750s and none had that coating. I believe that the coating you are referring to was how Zuk used Nichrome wire, then basically exploded it inside the cylinder to coat the bore.
It's an oddity I grant you Roger J, none of the rest of the range used the SCEM coating but for whatever reason the Suzook changed to this coating after the original J & K models (they had a different look to the finning & RAM air shroud), I had a great affection for my GT550's (I had 2 of them, both A models). Keep the vids coming :)
I used to have one good bike sold it to buy 750 honda k1 good sold that to buy kawi z1a good bike sold that to buy the best i ever had suzuki gt750 water cooled

Great bike sounds smooth
nice bike nice engineering i could do that if i had a lathe and milling machine and a bit of money
How much did you raise the exhaust port?
Thanks

You're right, turns out the US didn't get the chromed bores we got in the UK & Europe.
