        Thanks Man!

        A credit to you and all your knowledge assisting in re-building those forks. Made things come together a lot quicker. Still have a list of things to do, going to try and sync the carbs tomorrow and install the new petcock and fuel sending unit. The tanks is not mounted in the photos.

                jwhelan65 ...........that 750 looks downright awesome. Great job on the fine detail it looks impecable.
                My 1984 GS 750E is in good shape but doesn't even come close to yours man, well done!

                Those bikes are so underestimated and ride so well. No wonder I have a silly grin on my face everytime I come back from a ride.

                    Thanks Jetta,

                    Yeah, the only thing that would have helped the feel of the ride a little more would have been to replace the monoshock, but I figured with 8400 miles on it the stocker still has some life in it.

                      Hey Dan,

                      Kudos on the Tarozzi fork stabilizer. Fit perfectly, I actually sanded it with some 600 grit and hit it with some Dupli-Color to go with the build.

                          Looks AWESOME!!! I especially like the carbs.

                          Hey, since those bowl gaskets are brand new, you might want to double check and make sure the bowls are on good and tight before you put gas in them. They might have compressed a little.

                            Thanks Bruce, I'll tighten em up. Should be done with your sync and tuning tools shortly.

                              Joe,

                              Bike Looks great . Love that Sargents seat; goes very well with the 700ES color scheme.
