1983_GS750E - Rebuild

Good job- GK....it looks like BOM to me. Nice build. Nice bike. What's the next build going to be? A harley cruiser or a sport bike or a Katana (LOL)?
 
Thanks for the compliments....

Next project, if there would be one, yes it would be a KAT, but I would have to find one cheap enough to start, but it would get at a bare minimum a powder coated frame.....

Anyone want to buy a 83 GS750E..........LOL

Cheers
 
Awesome GK!!!! :clap: :D :clap:

She's absolutely 100% BOM material for sure!

Bet ya' feel good now right? Love seeing it all together finally!

I actually have some very nice SS Allen head bolts that would go great, but I lost the nuts or didn't get them, I don't know which,,,,:(

I even some some nut's with lights as well those would be interesting as well, but I have to get mirrors first.....those I have not decided on yet, working on it....

OHhhhhh and my Insurance agent was impressed with the build as well,,,,,he rides also, just this past weekend he rode almost 1500 Km

By the way, just took a look at your finished bike (I've been working and travelling a lot) and all I can say is wow! She looks better than new and I love the white paint. Just amazing GK. I've quietly been plugging away on the baby kat. I've been working on the wiring for the past couple weeks. I finally got it to turn over and the lights appear to all be working. My biggest dilemma now is the tank. I stripped it and found two creased dents on each side and some smaller dents and a large depression on the top. Estimate is 800 bucks which is painfull. Not sure what I'm going to do with that. These tanks are very rare so that's a problem too. Anyway, amazing work. You should feel very proud.
 
Hey Sci85, Thanks for the compliment, yup she is finally done, and on the road was out today did about 30 Km, not a lot, but made sure all was in good working order, and getting the new tires scrubbed in....

Glad to hear your getting some progress on the bike, bummer on the tank, 800 to what fix the tank, WOW, that is a lot, can't the creases be pulled out, the dent shouldn't be too hard, and or just bondo the damaged areas, or lead fill em, and get it painted ? Well I hope you get it sorted and get that bike going soon....

and yup I feel like a proud dad with a new born.....LOL

.
 
Yeah, 800 to remove the dents and paint. I keep hoping a tank shows up on ebay but it's going to be unlikely. I still can't believe how great your 750 came out. You going to do a new project this winter?
