Welcome to the site! You'll find that most of the folks here are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
What are your plans for the bike? Full resto? Basic maintenance and then use as a daily rider?

hey everyone sorry for the delayed responses, i forgot i had posted this awhile back! my main goal is to get it up to nice riding and very reliable condition. This is my first bike, well legally. LOL ive already done a new seat as the old one was MIA when i got it! I replaced the ignition with a Dyna, and ive also replaced the rear brake light as it wasn't working. I rebuilt the carbs a couple months back and **** runs pretty good now i would sayy. plugs are crazy fouled, or anything IF anything she runs a lil lean and from what iu see thats pretty normal here. Its a great bike and im super excited. i did just discover the fron forks are bent and im extremely upset about it.... so if anyone has any upper fork tubes for a 1982 gs750 t or where i can find some PLEASE lmk! Thanks again guys glad i could be here!
I've got the same bike and would love to see some pics.

right after i got it, i was about to move to a new house, so it sat like this for a little over a week before i could really dig in and do anything
Hey dude... I hate to break it to ya & burst your cafe hipster bubble, but you castrated the back half of your frame and then welded on a death stop aka cafe hipster rookie hoop in the worst possible incorrect way...
You now have a cafe turtle racer, because if you hit any significant dip in the road or bump at speed, your rear tire is going to act as an emergency death slide brake, and lock up your rear wheel and induce a high speed rear end slide-out, which could potentially result in death to the rider and others.
Please IMMEDIATELY hacksaw off this rookie hipster art-bike mistake!!!! Or at minimum, use your oxy-acetylene torches and heat the weld area up cherry red and bend the hoop upward to give yourself 4.5" of vertical clearance or so to the tire, so you don't kill yourself trying to look like a sleek L.A. hipster on your cafe-art-bike attempt.
With your new found cafe fiberglassing skills, you can then fashion by hand a cafe hipster hump as your new tail, and can do so around the new lifted non-deathstop hipster hoop.
These bikes look best with a trimmed down stock seat and the stock ABS plastic type GS tail, even when those are modded a bit cosmetically. You will most likely regret butchering the rear of your frame in the future, especially in lieu of doing any real beneficial mods such as high performance tires, upgraded front brakes, upgraded fork valving and springs, upgraded shocks, 530 o-ring chain conversion, upgraded charging system, & ignition relay mod.
if you want an awesome riding reliable bike, look into what it takes to do all of those, on top of all the neglected maintenance that your new 36 year old bike needs such as valve shim adjustments, full carb rebuild, new airbox boots, etc.
And PLEASE rip off that ********* hipster cafe death stop rear wheel lockup device, BEFORE IT KILLS YOUI!
We are big fans of vintage bikes and vintage superbikes, reliable vintage bikes, upgrading vintage bikes for better reliability and ride quality, and helping people achieve those directions with their neglected old projects. Just trying to help out...
