    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.

Another New GS Owner How's Everybody Doing Thread

Hey All -

New guy here. I recently picked up a 1977 GS750 here in SD (San Diego). It needs a lot of work, but I got a great deal on it. Almost everything original is there, except for the seat. I removed the mirrors so that they don't get bent while the bikes getting worked on.

Here she is:

A bit about myself:

I learned to ride dirt bikes and wrench when I was a kid. First street bike was a 2003 CBR600RR. Sold that in 2007, and in 2009, I picked up a CBR1000RR. I still have my street bike, and love it, but riding my CBR on the street isn't as fun as it used to be. Looking to pick up an "adventure" bike at some point, but for now, I've got my GS :D

Looking forward to meeting members on here, and contributing to the community. There's a wealth of information on this site, and it was one of the main reasons I picked up a GS. Thanks guys!
 
Going for the bare bones old school og superbike resto mod look, after I get her running good. Something like this:

Welcome to the site, LA.
You have set some lofty goals for your project.
Looks like a GS1000 tailpiece.

Thanks, Steve. Yes, it's definitely going to be a big project. I don't want to spend too much money on it, so I'm hoping to use a combination of Suzuki parts from other bikes to keep costs down.

You're right about the GS1000 tailpiece. I haven't had much luck finding pics of a GS750 resto custom. It seems like the only examples I've been able to find are those of a GS1000. But yeah, I'm going to keep the GS750 tail and tank. I need to get started on the carbs, and go from there.

I was reading a few threads about a member on here who has an o-ring kit for the GS carbs. Is he still around?
