Welcome. What exactly are you looking for? What problems are you having? Need more details

[lonerider7722]

Well I am doing a full engine rebuild, and also getting some of the body parts....I just want to make sure I have the right year and model....

Pretty darn sure it is a '78 750E, but I think thay made a EN and EC....does the vin designate which model??

Thanks

I'm sure someone will be able to answer the VIN side better than me but how about posting up a picture to help out some?

Also, to help even more, throw your location in your profile (one of us might be close to help) and your bike info in your signature so you won't have to remember to tell us every time.

That works for the newer bikes with 17 digit codes.IIRC BassCliff has one for the earlier models. There it is http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/su...nos/engnos.htm

Perry, the GS750 '77 thru '79 are just about identical. The E designation means it's chain drive, the second letter is the year - C = '78, N = '79.
Have look at the sticker on the steering head, it shows the date of manufacture.

It's a 78. Does it have spoked wheels or alloy wheels? E means it has alloy wheels and C is the year code. So a GS750C has spoked wheels from 78 and a GS750EC has alloy wheels from 78.
