    My ride to Colorado

    Glad you made it home safely and proud you made it through Memphis alive ;) and yes... Since the rally I've been scouring craigslist for any kind of 850. 😄

    What Hard bags will fit a 78 GS1000

    Krauser... They'll fit just about anything with twin shocks... One of mine came from a 80 GS1100E and the other from a GS850. I understand Samsonite and KG Engineering made good stuff too, but I have no experience with those.

    Signed up today Hello Everyone! Sexy GS650E inside.

    I too have been passing over the "sexy" post...glad I stopped this time. I was looking at a new '82 650 in that color when I chose a left over '81 750 instead. It looks very nice. And...I like the Rabid Transit. Are those Don Vesco handlebars? He sold a couple of styles, one like that IIRC...

    Hydraulic front brake switch...new issue

    Yup...that's how mine is (stainless braided lines). Took a quick spin this afternoon on my local twisty road and the front brakes are just dandy. I'm thinking I need a replacement switch :evil:...

    Hydraulic front brake switch...new issue

    I installed hydraulic brake light switches on both GS's over the last couple of years. So, far I've been happy with the results. During a check of the E model I discovered that the lever requires a LOT of force before the brake light is triggered. In normal operation it would never trigger...

    1981 GS750E battery info needed.

    Didn't mean to be short but I was posting from my iPhone. The thing is, it appears the same battery is spec'd for several bikes in your stable. Pull one of those and see what works....:confused:

    Moved the rear Turn lights!

    Yup...did the same thing to my T-model a couple of years ago... I later added Krausers which moved the signals to the frame and now its back to stock...:o I like to "tinker" ;)

    Hiya, just got a 83 gs750t

    Look on the headstock....if the label is still there, the model year will be stamped behind the model name i.e. GS750T "?"...like Tank says; D for 1983, Z for 1982. Tank is also right about the black engine..only in 1983. It looks silver to me on one side :o 1982 "should" have a chrome chain...

    Hiya, just got a 83 gs750t

    Yep, that picture is a 1983 alright...notice the different paint scheme, the blacked out engine, etc. It is what it is, you decide dude....good luck with your refurbishment.

    Hiya, just got a 83 gs750t

    Welcome Ennuii... What you have there is a 1982 Suzuki GS750TZ. See my signature and there are a few pics in my folder here too. These are certainly bikes worthy of attention. 1982 and 83 only so tanks, seats and such are hard to come by if you need them but its the same basic engine as...

    Babbit's Online - TERRIBLE experience.

    Too bad you had trouble. Assuming you ordered with a credit card...stop payment. I've been lucky enough to get exactly what I ordered every time for all three of my bikes. I have a list I'm about to order (several hundreds of dollars) with a credit card. Hope this doesn't jinx my order...

    SH 775 on a 1000E?.. It's tight.

    Here's a comparison of the original (Right) and the replacement (left) on my GS750TZ... OEM installation.. and here is the replacement installed...tight, tight, tight...

    Rear Brake Lockup

    After rebuilding the front caliper and master cylinder on my '81, I experienced periodic lockup until I replaced the brake lines. I believe that trash from internal deterioration/contamination was fouling the relief port in the master cylinder.

    530 vs 630

    Ditto... PLUS: I converted my '81 750 last year from a 630 and a NYLON rear sprocket that I had installed in the early 80's. The new 530 on steel sprockets was QUIETER :D. Now I'm hearing noises I never new the bike was making before :rolleyes:.

    Brake lever not activating the brake light

    +2 on the hydraulic switch. I've installed these on both of my GSs now. I wish I had done it on my E-model decades ago :rolleyes:

    Those with air valves in the fork tubes

    You also need a low pressure air gauge. I think mine is 0-20 psi...I've had it forever. I've installed Progressive brand springs in my E-model's forks so no air anymore. I'm still running the original springs in my T model's forks and I shoot for 7-10 psi. Prepare for a lot of aggravation...
