A Note from the
Owner
Mark,
What a great site !
I
have been a GS owner since 1984 when I bought a 1982
GS1100E. Since then I had a 1984 GS750E which
I foolishly sold when I started having kids.
Three years ago I bought a basket case 1984 GS750E which was
abused for drag racing. The previous owner had installed a
1990 GSX1100 Katana motor in it !
This was very intriguing for me since I loved the GS750 frame
size. When I had my first GS750 I would dream of big boring
it or putting 1100 sleeves in it - anything to give me the big
litre size torque I missed from my old 1982
GS1100.
So
I "went for it" and spent the first summer making it
road-worthy. Now I have a very nice "original looking" 1984
GS750E with the power I like, which I enjoy riding with my
children.
Mike's Cycle Refinishing of Ottawa Canada added material to the
tank to help it blend-in since I had to raise the tank 3 inches
for engine clearance.
A
very fun ride.
I think I will
hang on to this one !
