A Note from
the Owner
Mark,
What a great site !
I
have been a GS owner since 1984 when I bought a 1982
GS1100E. Since then I had a 1984 GS750E which
I foolishly sold when I started having kids.
Three
years ago I bought a basket case 1984 GS750E which was abused
for drag racing. The previous owner had installed a 1990
GSX1100 Katana motor in it !
This
was very intriguing for me since I loved the GS750 frame
size. When I had my first GS750 I would dream of big
boring it or putting 1100 sleeves in it - anything to give me
the big litre size torque I missed from my old 1982 GS1100.
So
I "went for it" and spent the first
summer making it road-worthy. Now I have a very nice
"original looking" 1984 GS750E with the power I
like, which I enjoy riding with my children.
Mike's Cycle Refinishing of Ottawa Canada added material to
the tank to help it blend-in since I had to raise the tank 3
inches for engine clearance.
A
very fun ride.
I think I will
hang on to this one !
