    1980 750e rebuild

    Found this a few months back but passed on it because IMO he wanted to much for it. I saw he had it on C-list for awhile but didn't sell. So he emails me that I need to have this.. I throw him my number and he says "come and get it".

    1980 GS 750E with a like new Kerker exhaust, carbs airbox and front calipers came in a box but they look to be complete. I have a stock pipe going back on it.

    Oh and only 5900 miles, she is extremely clean...

      Did the mandatory tear down on the calipers and M/C, ordered a few new seals and dust boots, but overall the pistons are good and everything looks to be cleaning up quite well.

                    It looks the PO pulled the carbs for re-jetting after installing the new Kerker... and never finished the job!

                    Sweeeeet. Doesn't look like the OEM tires though .

                    What are you going to do with the pipe?

                      That is exactly what the PO did, the pipe is spoken for..

                        I could really use that pipe, if the price was right. I pulled mine off last week and the bottom was rotted out of it. I am looking for a non sidewinder header.

                          I am actually swapping someone on here for a nice set of stockers.

                            By the way that is a nice bike. If your deal falls through, I would be interested. I have a stock set, but I think one side has some road rash. Even though they are hanging on the wall at my shop, I really haven't looked at them good in years.
