You're making really good progress Etcheberri,the frame looks great!Comment

Amen to that sir!
@Hoosier Daddy
yep! i will, thanks
@Pat.
thank you
next week end i plan to
Clean the inside of my tank.
(After much hesitation i ll give my tank/panels to a guy that has a lot of experience in painting these, he offered me a realy good price for the whole lot,
would cost me more to just buy a compressor+gun...And i want the best finish possible, i won t give that bike that said finish, not as good as that man will.)
pull out wheel bearings, clean/paint the wheels.
(can i work on them without having to remove the tires? :P)
and probably Clean/sand/paint as much pieces as possible.
What s next on my buy list :
Flywheel puller, rotor holder, valve seals, with these 3 items i ll have everything to finish the engine block.
then i ll need some way to mount it on a stand (going to use a car engine stand with some stuff to give it space, i plan to paint it on there, cure it with a heat gun. (i asked a dupli-color specialist for that, even if anyway the engine will cure the paint with it s own heat, just need to run slowy 2-3 sessions of 10-15 minutes, but i want to be sure! )
(no domestic oven environnement allowed for me :P)
and, because i am a geek, i think i ll build up a basic electrical system (with a car battery) to bench-test the engine, before putting it back in the frame...
maybe i ll even rig it with the speedometer and clutch/throttle. but that s not for sure at all.Last edited by Guest; 10-23-2011, 08:31 PM.Comment

here is my color scheme, so far.
Dark grey.
Orange and white stripe.

Very nice job on the frame, I forgot how much crap I cut off when I powdercoated mine.Comment

Good call DP, that was a brilliant idea of Daniel's.Comment

Interesting idea indeed!Originally posted by Highway_GliderHave you seen this tread?
It includes this picture:
You do have two frame....
If you want to get a larger frame and cut it up I would be willing to buy it back from you. At a good price of course.

I might do that!Comment

I am going to embark on a rebuild as well, it's also a 1983 GS750 E
your pictures and write up have inspired me to do this, bike has been sitting in my garage for over 10 years, basically the last time I rode it.......
a couple of pics, as she sits now....
going to use your thread for guidance
hope to see yours finished
I might even ask you and the rest of the forum on where to get certain parts, like brake pads, seals, gaskets, etc....
