    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'm rebuilding a GS750ES and see a deal on a GS700ES. Will the plastics and most non engine stuff switch over?

Fingers Crossed!
 
The tank will but the rest I am unsure of bolt hole & tab alignment. My guess would be "most likely". Ray.
 
Ask Griffin.. If i recal i had a set of side covers from a 750ES, and he said they dont fit the 700... Double check with him, he for SURE knows that stuff..
 
If I get it, I will swap all the plastics and tank, does that make a difference? It is cosmetically in much better condition than my 750es.

FYI: here's the Ebay link

Please don't poach it from under me!
 
Fairing, tailpiece, and fender are direct swaps. Sidecovers, tank and seat are not.

You can modify the mounting points on the frame to make them work, it's been done before.
 
Thanks! How much rework do you estimate for the sidecovers, tank and seat? I've got a guy who can weld.

Good info..
 
Griff, I thought the tanks bolted on the same? I know the side covers & seat are different but I thought, if all same model parts were kept together, they would go on. Is the tank a different bolt location? Ray.
 
The 750 tank is about 1/4" longer than the 700 tank. They both bolt up to the frame in the back of the tank via two feet. I think there is probably room to drill two holes in the frame (and possibly use some spacers) to get the tank on decently.

The side covers are completely different, and none of the mounting holes line up.
 
I'm planning to weld a tab to the old mounting plates and drilling a hole in it to accept the new location. Hopefully they aren't too far apart. Too bad it's not as easy to just swap the VINs :evil::)
