    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.

My 1977 GS750 is complete!

I second what Steve said, would sure fit the gallery of the other "'bikes of the month"'. Also, for what it did to that exhaust system, that Frontier metal cleaner and rust remover could be helpful if it were in the "tips & tricks" section.

Went there and posted my friend.
 
Picture below is the "Miricale" stuff used to clean the surface rust. It was designed to clean surface imperfections off of blued gun parts. I use it all the time restoring pre WW2 Winchester Lever guns. Doesn't harm the original bluing on the old firearm.
I use it along with WD40 and elbow grease.
Note that I soaked the exhaust in WD40 for a couple weeks before trying to remove the surface rust.

"If the rust has penetrated the chrome down to the metal, this stuff will Not fix that"

Steel wool and or scotchbrite will leave scratches on the chrome, this stuff does not.


Wow...impressive job! Well done.
I too have used the 0000 wool and autosol....I have never heard of Frontier but will look to get some. Great to learn something new. :) Thanks
 
Beautiful bike. A lot of effort went into it, you can tell. The exhaust is amazing, Did the tank and body parts just need to be cleaned up rather then re-painted?

Thank you,

Tank, side covers, tail section are All original from February 1977. I got very lucky on the condition of these components. No paint or touch-up needed
 
Looks great! A labor of love is right I find myself wanting to rebuild, replace and polish everything. What started out as I want to get it up and running so I can ride is turning into a full restoration. I need to replace and rebuild the entire brake system I believe I will have half or more of your budget in that alone. Well done!
