Building the Barn Find Suzuki GS450

This 1980 Suzuki GS450 is straight out of a barn where it sat for 24 years. It does run, but it needs gone through to be safe and reliable. Plus, why not make it a little custom while we are at it? But, can we get it all done super cheap? I will need your help for some inspiration.

That thing is awesome. I’d do your budget friendly “additions” as long as you don’t have to take it to far apart. So in other words. Do some stuff to it and enjoy it

[@LoganDidItYT]

That’s what I plan on doing! Well, at least for this first phase of it.

Cool bike! My first motorcycle was a GS450. Looking forward to what you come up with.

[@LoganDidItYT]

No way! It’s a fun little bike.

Eh, to 🤔 Had me dying. Please CAFE RACER STYLE! Such a great platform for that style! “L” meant it was a cruiser type setup. There was a “S” model that had different fairings that stood for sport and I think there is a base model “E” or something like that.

[@LoganDidItYT]

Haha. Hey, thanks for the info too. I saw a T and X but not sure what years those were offered…

[@Knownworldwide]

@@LoganDidItYT a gsx400 was offered in the years before the 450. Not sure if that is what the X designation you’re referring to. There was a T model, I believe that one had standard rear springs and the front suspension is NOT air adjustable like the rest I think. Swapping over to the early 90s gsx-r forks is a bolt on affair. Gives you dual disc brakes and most do that anyway.

@@Knownworldwide that’s actually really cool. I haven’t dove too far into all those things for this bike yet. But, dang, I need to.

The wood is? Purple Heart decking... I say leave the rust and "patina" and just fix it to ride, leave it stock. GS = Gran Sport X = Inline 4 with 4 valves per cylinder R = Racing F = Faired V = V configuration of motor

[@LoganDidItYT]

You’re right, Purple Heart! And, it’s interested you say that about the patina… you may want to watch the next video on it!

[@kseropigado]

for me..fix it,it worth it and is beatyfull

[@LoganDidItYT]

I’m pretty partial to it too. I may do that, or I may have already started the fixing….🤷🏻‍♂️
