    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.

Late 70s GS750 frame vs. early 80s GS750 frame

I just bought a 1980 GSX750ET (known as GS750E in the US?). Pretty happy with the purchase so far. The plan for the bike is basically to build a cafe-racer out of it. I have orderes fork-boots and clip-on so far. The headlight is changed to a round one and gauges are removed. I still have some questions though.

1. I really like the late 70s GS750 tank much better my stock early 80s tank - are these tanks interchangeable?
2. Do you guys have any cafe seats to recommend? The only modification I'm able to make on the rear frame is to cut shorter. I have no possibilities regarding welding. The seat should fit the width of my frame.

If anyone of you have the same type of bike, please do post pictures :)

Can you post some pics of the bike?
 
Nevermind this post. Figured it all out now :)

I had a CB 350 K4 seat laying around, which I by coincidence tried on the bike. It actually fitted great on the bike and looks like a brat-style. Who would have thought?! I had to cut the rear frame a little shorter to make it look good, but overall I'm pleased with the seat combined with the stock tank.
