1975 Kawasaki Triple

No Worries · 12-06-2008, 05:40 PM

From 1975 to 1979, I rode two-stroke triples. Suzuki's GT 550 and 750. I hopped them up, but they were no match in a straight line with the Kawasaki's. Back then, you could buy two-stroke oil in any drug store. Now I do a double-take even if I see the oil in a motorcycle shop.

keep the high handlebars? I had my 79 Suzuki for one day before I changed the buckhorn bars to superbike bars. Steel brake lines, GG pads, fork brace, and Metzeler Lasertec tire will vastly improve the front.

Works Performance shocks (longest ones possible) and Lasertec tire will bring up the rear, literally.
