Howdy everyone, so last night i picked up another GS750, this one is 81 with 21k miles on odometer. the down side is that it was involved in a wreck by some dumb ass drunk guy. Anyways, picked it up for $250, 7 hours of driving and $85 in gas, dang E-250 van!!!!
now the list:
1. gas tank is dented
2. exhaust is dented on one of the pipes
3. fuel in oil, petcock is shot
4. carbs are leaking fuel to the outside (need a complete rebuild, runs like a$$) also really hard to pull on throttle.
5. seat has holes in it and the foam is also hard as a rock
6. 3 our of 4 turn signals are broken, headlight clamps need straightening out
7. front fender needs some TLC
8. chain and sprockets should probably be replaced (530 conversion?
)
9. needs new tires
10. front brake master cylinder is M.I.A.
11. should probably rebuild the front forks.
12. side covers are M.I.A.
13. stock handlebars don't feel bent, but are uncomfortable as ****!
14. left hand side switch needs replacement
15. wiring is working, but the connectors need to be cleaned and i should probably re-sleeve everything like i did on my 78
i think that is all right now
Soooo... now the questions, what exhaust is that? i could not c any markings on it and how do i get those dents out? Same goes for the tank, combination of a bent rod + heat, stud puller and heat and dry ice?
I like the way bobbers look, BUT, i refuse to cut up a good frame (im fine with doing modifications as long as they can be turned back). Do you guys think it would look somewhat decent if i cover up the area where the seat is and mount a springer seat, little pad for a passenger, lower the back end ether with shocks or just hard tail it? (and do something about that tail light :-&.....puke) i would like to have some comfort as i do a decent amount of long trips per year and roads in Albuquerque suck big hairy ones. Also guys with bobbers, how long of a trip can you do?
anyways, pictures in a next post...
