    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.

Hello all, I have owned my 1977 GS750 for 4-5 years now, however just finally got it road worthy and started updating and restoring it. The bike was my grandfathers for most my life and before he passed away he had me come take the gs from him. He rode it until he was 80 and I rode on the back of it as a kid and early teen with him whenever I would go visit him in the summers. Other family members tried to get the bike but it never happened, me and him always had a special bond and this bike was always a part of it. I finally have a garage at my house and the extra money and time to invest in it here and there. I've put 500 or so miles on it the past 3 weeks it's on the road. The bike is all original except for bars, pod filters, exhaust and dyna s ignition. Just picked up a dual disk 1100 front end I will be swapping and a giuliari seat. Next is a swing arm and maybe motor work. Added a picture, will work on getting more up later.

Welcome to the site.
Nice story on inheriting your grandfathers' bike.
Put your location in your signature. There might some GS help nearby.
 
Welcome aboard, nice looking cared for bike. Please check the charging first opportunity. See quick test in my signature.
 
Welcome to GSR.

THanks for introducing yourself some.

Interesting story about your grandfathers bike.

DO put your location in user profile.

Looks like nice condition.

G'pa take off the front fender....?


.
 
Thanks for the welcoming guys, as for the front fender I took it off due to rubbing and being the worst conditioned part of the whole bike. However the new dual disk front end I scored is off a gs1100 and has an almost perfect original front fender on it. Can't wait to swap it all on and have a fender again. As far as location I will add it, I'm from
New York.
 
Welcome to the site. That's a real nice story, glad you're finally able to get on the bike again.
 
Cool story, and cool that Grandpa saw to it that you ended up with the bike. Hopefully it didn't cause and family grumbling.....
Welcome.
