    Hey all.... Quick introduction. Name is Paul, live in Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada. My late brother in law owned a 79 gs750L and had at some point in the last 20 years started tearing it down to rebuild. I got the bike a couple years ago from him with the request to get it back together and running. The motor was torn down, and I got it in boxes. After about a year of sourcing bits and pieces that were missing or non-usable I finally put it all together and got it running... Unfortunately, he passed away last year before seeing it all together and running again. I do know that he was smiling from up above when I fired it up and took it for a quick boot up the road. There's still some stuff I need to replace before it's road ready, but I'm pretty damn excited to get to this point. Cheers everyone.
