    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.

Well I own a GS again.
This time I couldn't say no to the price...

1980 GS750L from what I can tell.
Yup it runs too:
I'll be picking it up when I get back from my little loop.

I think I'm just going to run it as is!

Recent engine rebuild, new tires, new charging system... Guy needed to buy tires for his new FJR....

I couldn't pass it up.!
 
I just think he was making up the coin he needed.

This thing ain't perfect but it's complete.
 
i've always been curious about the sixteen valve seven fifty. my last 750 was a 73 honda.
 
I'll take a 16V over an 8V any day. Lock nut adjustment. More high end. My last 81 ran like a raped ape. I've had a couple 8V and it wasn't quite the same.

I think the 8V have more down low as the 16V love to race past redline.

I'll let you give it a rip in a few weeks!
 
Nice job Jedz!

I've never owned an 8V but my 16V "T" was fantastic while I was in New Mexico.

Pulled you heartstrings hard. Oh boy..... Welcome to GS nostalgia. It's the same reason I hope to own another 83 1100e someday.

As noted, yes it looks pretty complete and seems to run decent. Knowing you, it will be running great in no time. As far as running it as is, there is a certain joy of running a ratty looking bike. Heck, I used to write directions in Sharpie on my gas tank.
 
Nice. A rat bike that's worth riding some miles!! It's amazing how one can't rid oneself of the GS virus once infected....:redface:

True... I didn't want another shaft and swore I'd only land a 750 16V if one came available for cheap... Well it did. Haha
I'll be bringing it to GSR this year for sure.
