Gs750 l & e

[adamchatum]

So I have a 1979 GS750L model. I can tell by the stepped seat, fuel gauge and so on. I noticed today that my VIN says GS750E XXXXXXX. Did Suzuki just take a "E" frame and add a bunch of different parts? If thats the case,I might try to find a "E" style seat and rear fender.

Generally the frames are different? Or maybe someone has changed your seat ?

I have a 1980 E, which also has a a fuel guage and the seat is slightly stepped (probably 1.5 " step in pass. Portion.

The L models had a more exaggeatedly stepped seat, looks to be about 6" or so from pics I have seen on here. Is it possible that when you tried to figure out which model you have, the "stepped seat" threw you off?
A picture is worth 1000 guesses

Hi,

In general, the "E" designation means "chain drive". But it can mean other things. Yes, how about a picture?

So here's the bike... It has different handlebars and pods. Also missing the side covers.
What do you think? L or E?
Thanks

That is an L. My 79 GS750L says Gs750E on the VIN. also.

Chrome rear fender with no , tail I vote an LLLLLL

 

[adamchatum]

OK, an L it is... Will an E seat fit you think?

L seats seem to have different mounting points for most models from what I gather. The L seats in '79 come right off of the bike when you unlock them, true for yours? Non L seats have a long hinge pin holding them on and unlock from the opposite side with a different kind of mechanism. It would probably take some work to change types.

Hi,

Allie is right. Any other seat would require some modification.
