    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.

Stole these foot pegs and brackets from an 06 GSXR1000. The bolt holes come real close to lining up, but I had to elongate the holes a little bit, A bracket also was needed to tilt the master cylinder rearward in order to clear the frame.
The shifter side needed the same hole widening process, and the shift rod needed to be shortened.

i would like to know that also. man they look pretty darn slick. good job!
 
Can we see a pic of the entire bike? I interested to see where they line up.
 
The pegs are at the same height as stock, just set back 5"

Very nice. Your bike just gets better and better.

I'll probably be stealing this idea for mine.
 
Looks cool actually, better than putting your feet on the back pegs at least.

Did you cut some foam out of your seat or is it normally that low?

Yes, I cut a huge chunk out of the original "flat" seat.
 
Those look cool.

Those look cool.

I see you've done some work there, I dig the forks big time, but I don't know you're getting so much power out of an 8 valve engine. Those kind of upgrades belong on a 16 valve bike. I would think those high handlebars are a mismatch for those setbacks too, your feet are moved back so your hands, arms and shoulders should be moved down to match.
I'm working out the same issues on a bike of my own, so don't mind my thinking out loud.

:lol: I've asked him that same question about 3 times... It's a stock GS rear with a wide 17" rim on it with a Harley front hub that he laced a 19" rim to match the rear too.

There are better pics to show them off too.. do a search against his prior posts.

Dan :)
 
Close, but its a 18 rear. The rest is correct. Sun (Buchanan's) aluminum rims with 160/60/18 and 120/70/19.

Bah, you can get pleanty of power out of an 8v motor...and besides, those mods arent about the motor, theyre about making the power that motor makes STICK in the corners... You can put your big bore kits and what not on your bike, make 140HP, but fat lot of good that does if you can only stick 50% of it in the corners... That bike just MIGHT be FASTER than alot of bikes in the corners simply because he can use MORE of the available power...

Yeah, on the 750s the two valve engines seem stronger than the four valve ones, even the later ones from 1983. More top end, more grunt, everything. And they hold together forever too.
 
This 1977 GS750 no longer has the 750 mill in it. It now has a 1000 motor inside. I have an 1100 8v shaftie motor thats complete, and I'm thinking this winter I'll swap heads with it so I can have the larger ports and bigger CV carbs. So its not all about the looks, it's got some punch, and there's plans to get some more out of it.:)
