    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.

Here is my 750L, started of bone stock at the end of last summer and now looks like this. Just needs some new rear suspension and she is done. Cheers!


I''m not generally a big fan of the "L" series, but this one looks pretty cool! Nice job!
 
Yesterday I added a grab bar to my 1979 GS750E. The grab bar was sourced from a 1980 GS750 that I purchased from fellow GS member "Natan". The seat pan on my '79 wasn't originally intended for a grab bar, and needed some holes drilled, and some creative use of an old leather belt to make it work. I sure like the way it looks better than the old luggage rack that was mounted back there before. If I ever need the luggage rack for a trip, I can always put it back on.

Since acquiring the bike in April, I've swapped out the handlebars, added some black paint to the motor and headers, and now have added the grab bar. I've also got some new black turn signals coming, and will likely change out the mirrors too. Next up is to add raised white letters on the tires, then I'll pretty much be done with any custom changes, unless I decide to take the leap and change the original paint.

The latest set of mods have been installed. (Painted Upper triple tree and handle bar clamps, new speedo & tach, and headlight visor)

The turn signal wiring through me for a loop, but I ordered a Diode Kit from Amazon and will be installing it soon.

No more mods (for now).... Time to ride......

What model master cylinder is that?, I have clubman bars ae well and I don't like the way the factory GS750 E 1980 rectagular cylinder site at the angle. Its worked fine though.

That is a neat idea. I am such an old fogy I had to Google what OBEY Stickers were.

After reading about the PHENOMENOLOGY at http://www.obeygiant.com/about

To me they conjure up a reaction just the opposite of obeying... Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall"comes to mind and affects me the same way.
 
Yep, I'm a fan of the Obey stickers. But Quest, do you need a dust cap for the right side of your front wheel? I'm sure I have one kicking around the garage that I can send your way....

Never realised I was missing one Lol...I should probably put one on there. How much for it to ship to VA?
 
Finally my turn to add to this thread!
I just finished building it for my wife. She named her "Lizzy"
