    77 GS750 - Finally picked one up!

    Been looking for a decent example somewhat close to me for awhile now. Saw this a few months ago but but there was paperwork issues with it. I told him if he got it sorted out I would buy it. Well we kept in contact and sure enough he was able to get the title for it so off I went to grab it yesterday.

    The bike appears to have been very well cared for. With a little cleaning up in the spring it should shine. Will look good in my collection and I cant wait to ride it. Not really going to mod it or anything. Plan on keeping that same look. Only thing I may change is the seat. Maybe do the 1000 motor swap but idk yet.

    For now she will just sit in my storage unit till the weather gets warmer and keep my RD350 company.

          I actually wanted the turquoise color but this one was available and the price was more than alright.

            Congratulations on a nice looking find. I sure hope the tank is empty as the petcock is in prime position. Going to empty it soon if there is any fuel in the tank.

                      If it is the turquoise and in as good of shape as mine I would be willing to swap.

                          Take an adjustable wrench and pinch it onto the rear signal brackets and tweek the signals back into linement. The chain guard is easilly replacable and IF you nt to repaint at some point PM me and I can have my "turqouise" paint scanned for you. I think its called Pearl Black Bluing actually.

                          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                              Nice find !

                              Looks like original stock paint and seat.
                              Original paint in great condition. Rare find. That is the value of that bike.

                              THat grab bar that was mentioned is good for when putting on center stand. Are often removed if someone adds bags and/or a back rack, and then lost before those are removed.

                              If you find those aftermarket bars are kinda low and short, well, okay if you like them, okay.
                              If not, you might like the stock ones better.
