Finally a GSX 1400

[Donatello]

Hi, after many years of looking at a GSX 1400 I finally can say I own one. I took it home and first thing I did was take it apart 

The bike needs new tires, and when the wheels are off I am going to powdercoat them black (don't hate me).
I send the gauges off to the UK for a shift indicator in the rpm gauge, the front forks need some love so these are going to be painted silver/grey and I will fit Hyperpro springs.
My other wish was an Akrapovic 4-1 system but the only place I could find one has them in back order for the next six weeks. If someone knows a place where I can buy them please let me know! I need them in three weeks!

Welcome!     Bike looks great - understand the thinking behind the Akrapovic, but black wheels on a Blue & White?  Sacrilege!!

Welcome. Black wheels, the clock mod and a full system, all niiiiiiiiiiiice!

Keep the updates coming....

Welcome! Best colour scheme by far, black wheels,hmm I'm not sure.

AKRAPOVIC system is nice, I've got one, its awesome

I have enough trouble keeping black wheels clean, would be hopeless with white.

Nice bike I'm sure you'll give it all the TLC it needs remember to have a good look through the forums before you start getting the spanners out .
Things like exhaust bolts are a nightmare .

Tell me about it :')



Only one snapped, luckely I have a father who rides old pre-WWII Harley's so he knows a thing or two about snapped bolts. I also just did a turbo build on my MX-5 so I'm no stranger to rust.





The bike has to be ready in three weeks because I'm going to the classic races in Spa (Belgium) for a weekend.

Welcome to the forum Donatello, bike looks like it been well looked after by the previous owner. 

The bike was from the father of a friend who passed away sadly, he loved the oldschool Suzuki bikes and has ridden them his whole life. When he knew he was thermally ill he bought this bike and rode it as much as he could. The bike needs some love but considering its age its in a really good condition, came with an ABM fatbar and B-king mirrors so thats a plus.

Good luck

Welcome along Donatello. Good bunch here. Nice looking bike you have. Black wheels are a great idea....... then you only have a few more parts and the tank to paint black and it will look stunning.
