    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

About to pick up another bike

Congrats, looks like a winter project is in your future.
If it was properly stored, 3 years is not that long to have been dormant.
 
More like a weekend project, I bet it does not need much beyond routine maintenance...
Hopefully.
 
I've got it home, looks to be in ok shape. The left side small fairing is broken so I'll be looking for one of those, color doesn't matter as I'm going to paint up blue and white over the winter. It's only got 17964 miles on the odometer.

Things I need right off the bat:

Tires - wow is all I will say.

Headlight, it has a crack in it.

Battery, it has a little charger hooked up to it but most likely a new one is in order

the handle for the preload adjuster is missing.

new mirrors there's only one and it is crappy.

There was a little oil under the bike when the guy hosed it off. looks like it is the oil filter cover but I'll know more as I start working on it.

The oil cooler is a nice touch, we'll see if it leaks.

Can't wait to get started :) It's a totally different creature than my 82 GS750E, much sportier.

so what is it that craigslist link is dead now removed
 
OK, I looked at the CL posting when you first mentioned it and thought "Wow, he's getting a steal there".
I just went back to look at it again, but it's been deleted by the seller.

In other words, ...

thank you steve:D
 
It's a 1983 GS750ESD white in decent cosmetic shape. It doesn't run as it's been sitting for three years in a garage but was a daily driver before that. 17964 miles.

The way I figure, I can put some money into it and the worst case is I part it out.

I'll take some pictures in the morning.
