New Shocks For Our Suzuki
March 22, 2023
The new shocks for our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T have finally arrived!
To make them fit as they need to, a new upper mount will need to be made on the drive side. The stub to the collar on the frame will need grinding off so it can be drilled out and a new one welded in. On the other side of the bike, a spacer and dome note should be all that is needed.

Dan’s In Demand!
October 19, 2020
Our Director Craig has had a bespoke exhaust made for his 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T. The custom-built exhaust is the handy work of the genius Dan Dew from Demand Engineering.
“Dan’s built the whole exhaust” Craig explains “he’s even made the can shorter upon my request.”
A shorter can on the exhaust not only better suits the café racer style Craig’s aiming for, but will also make the bike louder.
If anyone can make a bespoke exhaust and can – Dan can! We’re always super impressed with the craftsmanship from Demand Engineering. This custom-made exhaust is no exception.
The only thing left for this extraordinary build is to get the engine out and blacken the whole thing. Looking forward to hearing that exhaust roar!

The next steps will be to refurbish the forks and the fuel tank.
Then once the frame is painted, we can prepare the entire bike for assembly with new parts.

1984 Suzuki GSX 400T Cafe Racer Project
November 22, 2019
Here at Bridge Classic Cars, we’ve just acquired this 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T motorcycle. This air cooled 400c Suzuki is in dire need some attention. As part of this vehicles restoration, we will be modifying the vehicle in cafe racer style. The current plan is to paint the bodywork cream with a tan leather cafe racer seat. The handlebars will also be lowered to create a sleeker profile to this motorcycle. We can’t wait to see where this project will lead but we’re proud to bring this tired Suzuki back to life.
