    Let Me Introduce My bike/self (1980 gs750 build)

    I have not formally introduced myself as a noob on the forum so here i am. My Name is Tony living in Texas and after searching i found a project bike and a bike for my wife to learn on. This is the first GS that i have ridden and after only having it running for 1 day i already love it. I fell in love with the look when surfing this forum.

    Its a 1980 gs750e and unlike some of you i love the square headlight! it has 30k

    Here is a list of the work i did
    • Rebuild/Polished Carbs
    • Rebuild Master Cylinder
    • Complete brake system strip down flush/clean/Inspect
    • Valve Adjustment
    • New Rear Tire
    • superBike Handlebars
    • Polished Motor/Tranny, Forks & Master Cylinder Cover
    • Repainted Black With Gunmetal Grey


    Items i have yet to do
    • Rebuild front forks (springs and seals purchased)
    • Custom Seat

    Looking good..... from one "blockhead" to another.

    Nice, tasteful polishing work too.

        Welcome to the forums I also have a 80 750E, And I also LOVE it. I just bought it for cheap transpo to work and back, got it cheap. I never thought I would like it so much. I have owned many bikes but this one just fits me and handles perfect for me. Thanks to this forum she is purring like a kitten I'm happy for you man, and hope you enjoy many safe miles on her.

        P.S. I don't hate the square headlight but I love the vetter fairing mine came with so I am sticking with it.

            Nice paint job! If that's a rattle can job how did you get it to shine like that?

            It looks cool without the front fender but I think it serves as a brace for the fork as well.

            Nice polish work too.

              i have the front fender.... just forgot to put it on for the picture...

              also no its not rattle can. I found a guy that did the whole bike for 170$ on craigslist. he used left over paint front his high end custom bikes. 3 coats color.. 3 coats clear... looks great. I especially love the strip on the tank and tail..
