Hi everyone, signed up because this seems to be the place to be for GS resources and content. Just picked up a 1981 GS750, "L" model I believe, with only a little over 8k on the odometer.
Only paid $500 for it, not even sure if it runs yet but did get it to crank a little on a jumper. It's been sitting for somewhere between 6-10 years according to the woman I bought it from, it was her husbands and he had passed this last July.
Plans are to get it running and riding first, and then to build it out a bit into something cafe inspired but probably not fully embracing that look.
She's definitely a 10 footer, the chain is a rusted mess, the back brake seems to be binding up, there was a mouse nest in the airbox, and the tank looks to be full of something that may have been gasoline at one point. Someone along the line cheaply painted the tank (it used to be red) and the side covers black.
