    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I WILL SOON HAVE A 1980 GS750XL, THE DEALER I AM GETTING IT FROM SAYS THAT THERE ARE MANY VARIOUS MODELS OF THE BIKE AND INTERCHANGING PARTS CAN BE DIFFICULT. I WANT TO CHANGE IT FROM THE CRUISER L MODEL TO A SPORTER TYPE. I ALREADY HAVE AN E MODEL TAIL FENDER AND AFTERMARKET FRONT FAIRING. I AM CHANGING THE HANDLEBARS TO A LOW DRAG BIKE PAIR. ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS.
 
The wheels, engine, brakes, and shocks are the same between the L's and E's
Suzuki changed the rear fender, seat, fuel tank, exaust, handle bars and most importantly, the front forks and tripple clamps to make the L models.
 
I was always under the impression that the frames were different from the "E"'s & "L"'s. Does anybody know for sure?

You made me curious so I stared at the 2 pictures I have for about 5 minutes. All I can see so far is differences where the rear pegs are and the tail where the signals and the 'E' model seat locks down. The 'L' models don"t have the crossover piece to lock the seat.Oh, the 'L' seems to sit lower, maybe just an illusion from the seat and bars.
