    I've been on a Hiatus from my bike

    Hey guys,

    This site has been an excellent resource for me over the last few years, but I never got around to posting. I'm going to be doing some work on my bike in a few weeks, so I thought I would introduce myself now and show off my ongoing project

    Well I bought this 1979 GS750L a couple years ago with the intention of making a cafe style bike out of it.

    After a summer full of late nights and long weekends I ended with a bike that looked pretty good IMO, but still needed a lot of new parts...

    Due to a limited funds and my last year of college, I built the bike with some original parts that should have been replaced. When I got out of college a year ago I ended up moving from Pennsylvania to Alaska and storing my bike in an uncle's garage.

    Now I'm moving back to PA in a couple weeks and of course buying parts already in anticipation lol

    I just uploaded some pics to photobucket, so hopefully the links work and you can see pics, because otherwise it's just boring lol

      Welcome Aboard!
      I love to see them 750's! Nice job on the cafe build. I've seen allot worse that's for sure, I say it looks pretry good!. I'm not huge into the cafe look but to each their own. Where abouts in PA will you be located? Be sure to start a build thread!
      Welcome again!

          Saw your thread title and was intrigued because I haven't ridden my "T" in almost a year. Welcome back and have a great time getting re-acquainted with your bike.

          my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

              Thanks guys!
              The plan is to live in Erie and commute to Meadville.
              I've thought about a build thread before but I was always putting to much time into my bike lol. I'll see what I can do though

                      Depending on how good she's running I may be trying to make a trip to cleveland to see a buddy...

                      The owner of the red bike did the pinstriping on both bikes, and he's always looking for side paint jobs. If you're interested I can get you his contact info.
