    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.

Found this a few months back but passed on it because IMO he wanted to much for it. I saw he had it on C-list for awhile but didn't sell. So he emails me that I need to have this.. I throw him my number and he says "come and get it".

1980 GS 750E with a like new Kerker exhaust, carbs airbox and front calipers came in a box but they look to be complete. I have a stock pipe going back on it.

Oh and only 5900 miles, she is extremely clean...:D

Did the mandatory tear down on the calipers and M/C, ordered a few new seals and dust boots, but overall the pistons are good and everything looks to be cleaning up quite well.

All back to original, its so clean it was in storage since 1982. It ended up leftover from someones estate. It just screams " make me look new again"

It looks the PO pulled the carbs for re-jetting after installing the new Kerker... and never finished the job!

Sweeeeet. Doesn't look like the OEM tires though :rolleyes:.

What are you going to do with the pipe?

That is exactly what the PO did, the pipe is spoken for..;)

I could really use that pipe, if the price was right. I pulled mine off last week and the bottom was rotted out of it. I am looking for a non sidewinder header.

I am actually swapping someone on here for a nice set of stockers.

By the way that is a nice bike. If your deal falls through, I would be interested. I have a stock set, but I think one side has some road rash. Even though they are hanging on the wall at my shop, I really haven't looked at them good in years.
 
Nice survivor, looks great!

It's been said many times before - "Square Headlights rule!!" :D
 
Man, that thing looks great. I'll watch this thread closely. I am starting a similar project with my 81 750E that has 3,060 original miles. I'd say yours is cleaner, overall, and is inspiring to me.
Not to be rude, but I am curious to know what you paid, only as a matter of comparison. I am happy with what I paid, though some may say it was too much, some would say it is worth more.

I am considering keeping my rectangular headlight. I am torn on that, though. I like the 82 round. However, I dig keeping things mostly original. Decisions decisions...

Anyway, GREAT bike.
