    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.

GS750E-video

Looks like a "78" GS750E with lower bars, SS brake lines. Didn't the "E"'s have emblems that say GS750E & a stepped seat? I just looked at a parts diagram & it shows the same part # for the seats on the GS750 "B", "C", "EC", "N", & "EN". That ain't right,.... is it? I remember the stepped "E" model seats looked & felt a lot better than the standard flat GS750 seat
 
Cheers Trevor, Brightside have some great videos and Paul Brace is quite a guy!

The bike in the video looks like it has the correct seat to me...they weren't stepped..least not in Canada anyway
 
I believe the US "E" models had the stepped seat. At least the 3 that I have owned over the years have all had it!

Probably like a lot of Suzuki models, something was changed for different parts of the world.

After a lot of digging, I think I've found the emblems on the frame covers were "GS750" for the "B", "C", "EC", & "N" models. the emblems that have "GS750"E" started with the "79" GS750 "EN". Still digging into the seat thing, Suzuki has used 3 or 4 different part #'s for the 2 seats in question. So far all the pictures I've found (U.S. Models) if a GS750 has spoked wheels it has a flat seat, if it has cast wheels, it has a stepped seat. Pictures from bikespecs.com, motorcycle specs.com, & Suzuki.org. Of course there are personal pictures of Spoked wheel models with "E" model seats as well as standard bikes that have had cast wheels added.
 
CMSNL shows separate emblems, one with the "E" and one without. '78 GS750EC.
My AU spec 750EC has the "E" emblem and flat seat.
