    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.

Hey guys,

This site has been an excellent resource for me over the last few years, but I never got around to posting. I'm going to be doing some work on my bike in a few weeks, so I thought I would introduce myself now and show off my ongoing project ;)

Well I bought this 1979 GS750L a couple years ago with the intention of making a cafe style bike out of it.

After a summer full of late nights and long weekends I ended with a bike that looked pretty good IMO, but still needed a lot of new parts...

Due to a limited funds and my last year of college, I built the bike with some original parts that should have been replaced. When I got out of college a year ago I ended up moving from Pennsylvania to Alaska and storing my bike in an uncle's garage.

Now I'm moving back to PA in a couple weeks and of course buying parts already in anticipation lol

I just uploaded some pics to photobucket, so hopefully the links work and you can see pics, because otherwise it's just boring lol
 
Welcome Aboard!
I love to see them 750's! Nice job on the cafe build. I've seen allot worse that's for sure, I say it looks pretry good!. I'm not huge into the cafe look but to each their own. Where abouts in PA will you be located? Be sure to start a build thread!
Welcome again!

Saw your thread title and was intrigued because I haven't ridden my "T" in almost a year. Welcome back and have a great time getting re-acquainted with your bike.

Thanks guys!
The plan is to live in Erie and commute to Meadville.
I've thought about a build thread before but I was always putting to much time into my bike lol. I'll see what I can do though
 
You will only be about 2 Hrs from me. Welcome! Who did the pinstriping on the tank of the red one?
 
Depending on how good she's running I may be trying to make a trip to cleveland to see a buddy...

The owner of the red bike did the pinstriping on both bikes, and he's always looking for side paint jobs. If you're interested I can get you his contact info.
