    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...

My 81 GS750E

JS750

Forum Apprentice
Hi everyone.

Haven't posted in a long time. I had thought of doing a build up type thread a couple times but don't have the patience. I'm an avid old school Suzuki owner and have a couple different bikes I been riding and working on. This one here is my baby cause I started from the frame up and had alot of fun learning to build it how I want. Hopefully the image posts otherwise I'll try to fix it tomorrow.

She's an 81 GS750E. Front forks, Headlight and Brakes are all off an 82 GS1100E along with the swingarm and 17" inch rear tire. Braided stainless lines, caf? bars (I don't care how uncomfortable they are they look badass), Hagon shocks, RaceTech emulators, Tarozzi fork brace and rear sets. The motor is actually out of an 82 GS750T (thus the black), dynojet kit, k&n pods, Delkevic 4-1 exhaust and I got some cheap amazon turn signals that are actually pretty damn bright. The instruments and gauges are off an L model. I had no clue on the milage of the motor anyway as it sat in a barn for 20 years and fired right up.

Runs like a champ and I'm quite pleased with her. Correcting the side cover decals and getting some new tires will be this winters goal. Possibly some 1100 cams when I do the valve adjustment if I'm feeling ambitious enough.

Thanks for reading!
Josh

Looks fantastic! You sure did a nice job on it for putting a few different bikes together.

Looking good. Did you modify the frame or make new bushes, to mount the 1100 swingarm?
 
Haven't been on in awhile cause I been busy with a new job. I ended up drilling out the frame to fit the swingarm. Kinda thinking of going back to the square light just to be different and I might need the big 1100 light for another project. Always messing around and modifying something lol
