    Welcome!

    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.

I guess the good news is that if anything quits working, it will grow out of it.

^^^haha! yes, looks recycleable as scrapmetal so hereabouts there's no dump-fee.

oh well, different folks-different strokes...but $7000! I wonder if I'm missing out on something...I'm in the wrong "milieu" with all my $1000 runners.

Interesting bike, kinda so-so for upgrades, hate the paint job. Needs a fork brace.
I'd buy it if I intended to race a GS1000.
 
That could actually be worth a little if there is a decent rear end under there. Some of those can cost. You'd have to be looking past the rest.

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.

When they write about the work done "professionally" that usually means it's not running and overpriced.
 
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.
