1978 GS 750 story

[stillads]

Hi I am as stated a GS 750 from 78, and was bought from a man from Jutland in Denmark, that didn't have a clue about what to do if I got ill.

After 4 years of sleep I was brought home to my new owner in a van, because he didn't think that a trip of 100+ miles would be good for my old oil and brakefluid ( I think he was right).

I was brought to his home in Copenhagen, where I live with another Suzuki of that is younger.

After he changed my oil and brakefluid, he and I went for a few rides together My gods, it is nice to get on the road again, even though his friend rides a Yamaha RD350R (phew how it smells )

My owner and I have had a few rocky days, and now I am parked under a plastic tarp while he is trying to fix my nervesystem, that is totally bogged up.

But before that operation, we had a litle fun together with his daughter and the RD350 friend

The beautifull daughter

She just takes after her father, if it is a good thing I don't know

And the RD350 driver

He thinks that he can throw me around like he does his own RD350R

I'm much more of a 'naked' bike fan, but I really like the full fairing on this bike, especially the dual headlight. It has a nice classic cool look going for it.

I wouldn't dare put anything like that on my bike for fear people would want me to race, thinking my bike was as fast as the modern sport bikes. Around here it's either Harley or Crotch-Rocket. Not as many cool classics like yours!

 

[stillads]

Actually it is a mixed breed, it is as stated a 78 GS750, but the fairing, I have been told is from a Honda CB900 of some kind, and yeah, they think I am a rocket rider.

The last day I was driving, I had compagny of 5 MC officers on their Yamaha 1200 police bikes. They tried to get me to fly, but I rather like to coast, although I can burn rubber if needed.

I had no illusions that it was stock. It fits the bike well though. Need some racing stripes or something though. Some 'flash'.

You get your whishes

 

[stillads]

Well my owner was told that it would be a good idea to look at my carb's, and it was.

They are DIRTY

He have got a original airbox that he will fit on to the carb's instead of those thingies I have been breathing thru.

This how clean it can get with just a little work

One down three to go.

 

[stillads]

Finally, after he have been taking a breather, they got clean.

Now it was time to assamble them:

And all the rods and whatever:

He said that some of the things he took apart, was not worth a picture, he could remember how to put them together, as easy as he could remember his wife's birthday

It turned out that he could NOT remember her birthday :-$

 

[stillads]

He got something done today

Assembled and painted thee airfilter box

 

[7981GS]

Making progress in the right direction.
Who needs birthday gifts anyway?

Finally he has started on the harnes, it is a lot of wires, and a lot of places to put them, but thankfully to ValorSolo it is a lot more easy. Pic's will follow soon
