    Back in the bike game

    Hi there, I finally have got around to posting something. I bought a 1977 gs 750 in December. After a busy Xmas and a vacation I am finally ready to get some things done. Here is a pic of the bike the first day I brought her home. I live North of the border in Whitby, about 40mins from Toronto. Once I figure it out I will be posting a project thread. Though I am not sure anyone will learn anything from me. Lol! I love this site and have been addicted to it for the last month. Thanks to all.

          Welcome to the site.
          I see the carbs are off, did it run when you bought it?

            Looks like nice stock bike, been painted, yet, nice stock bike.
            I like seeing the kick starter and the spoke wheels.

              Yes it ran great when I bought it. Started first or second kick. Had a leak from one of the float bowls so I thought I would pull the carbs to give them a once over.

                Follow the carb. rebuild on Basscliff's site and you'll end up with carbs cleaned the way they should be. That looks like not going to take a lot to make it shine!

                  Nice bike. Really like the spoke wheel models. And the red is great too red.
