I WANT TO FILL MY FRONT FORKS ON MY 1979 GS750L. WHERE IS THE SCHRADER VALVE. IS IT UNDER THE LARGE NUT ON TOP OF THE FORK LEGS?

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.

Yes, but you can't use them to fill the forks with anything but pressurized air. You'll have to remove the fork caps if you wish to add fork oil.

OK, THATS NOT THE CAP TO FILL THE FORKS. BECAUSE I TOOK IT OFF AND THE SPRING POPPED OUT.

Oil is probably ancient, put in some new 15 or even 20W, throw away your old springs and get some new (progressive) ones. Check tire pressures to make sure.
