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 !
