    New Guy North Bay Ontario

    Picked up my new to me 1979 GS750e from a gentleman just outside of Ottawa.
    Don't have much history on the bike but from looking at it, it has had some engine work done in the past (not the owner I bought it from) and is in decent shape.
    Mechanically fit, I am running into a bit of an issue with the one cylender on the left (#1 shifter side) not firing properly. Going to dig through things and figure that one out.
    The bike is stock from what I can see. Some over time repairs (plug wires, etc) but otherwise not in bad shape.

        This is the only decent picture I have so far of the old girl. The paint is rough, she's not showroom ready, but oh does it turn heads when you kick her over at the gas station.
        Looking forward to cleaning it up and making it mine. Need to resolve a few minor items (hand grips, chock cable and air filter on order) and replace or relocate the mirrors. Not sure if they are OEM for that year, but being a small guy, I can't see past my shoulders with them.

            Welcome to the site. Yes it is a nice looking bike. Looks a lot like my 1000E. I think those are the same mirrors as mine also.
