    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.

Can someone with a 1977-79 model GS 750 (not "L" model) please give me the measurements of the "stock" handlebars. Width, rise, pullback, and how large the center section is. Bought my bike with drag bars and need upright seating position. May purchase new aftermarket bars very similar to stock specs. Or if someone out there has a set of stock bars they are willing to part with pm me. Thanks
 
I have a pair of stock 81 GS750E bars .. trade you if you want.

Not sure how they compare to your 77 - 79 but someone may be able to tell us.
 
I have 2 sets --first from a '79 gs750e--30"wide x 6"rise x 6"pullback--7"inside width--second from a '77 gs750--30"wide x 7'rise x 10"pullback--6"inside width--both removed from bikes that previous owners had for 10 years and both were on bikes when previous owners purchased bikes--honestly, I don't know if these are stock or not but I believe the '77 set is stock as the rest of this bike was--the '79 bike had some non stock parts, so this set could be incorrect--hope this helps!
 
The first set [79 gs750e--30"wide x 6"rise x 6"pullback] is pretty close to what was on my 77 when I got it. Might not have been stock, but everything else was.

The bike sure looked better when the came off though!!! LOL
 
Beau, just about any stock handle bars from the era will give you an upright riding position. About as close as you'll come to "ape hangers". They will all be 7/8", which will fit your bike. So the different models will be of little significance except for the distance between the clamps. The knurled surface on the bar should match up with the bar clamps on the tree.
