    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.

Seen on CL today: asking price is $4500 CDN At that price, I'd expect none of the floats to be sticking:

Gs750 tank, 1976 wheels, custom seat and clipon handle bars. New chain and sprockets, rebuilt harness and cleaned carbs, rebuilt brakes, integrated tail light, aftermarket foot levers, shifter and instruments. Has both electric and kick start.

All work professionally done by previous owner.

One of the carb floats is sticking.

$4500 seems only fair - I mean, he probably spent a lot on that cool exhaust wrap. And aren't you supposed to recover every penny you put into it when you sell? Plus, that's not just any seat - it's a custom seat.
 
Gawd, almost no travel on the forks, itsy, bitsy pods, no mudguards and those rear-sets are so high your knees'll be in your chest! Oh, and a float is sticking.....

"This bike is unrideable, but I paid lot of money for it because "caf? racers" were a hip thing for a minute or two. All of my money is tied up in it, and I need to unload this expensive doo-dad on someone with more money and less sense than me."

The price always increases depending on how many screw ups have been installed with maximum potential being reached when it no longer runs and parts are missing or broken. LOL

No fork brace either, the GS and most all bikes have a fork brace built into the fender.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

1. "Professional" is not a measure of quality, only means they got paid for it.

2. The Biblical Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic was built by professionals.

Wow, I know it was meant to be funny, but I sure could use a LOT of parts from that "Sport"... Wish I had a few hundred to throw at him...
