    New UK member, based in West Sussex

    Hi everyone!

    i picked up a '77 GS 750 a few weeks back and am frickin' loving it! I like old mechanical things and the GS is very high up there in my favourites.

    My GS is almost fully standard and pretty scruffy, but that's how I like it. The exhaust is a chopped and seat isn't genuine but thing that's about it. Great bike and amazing handling and all round ability for something of its ago. What a beauty of a find.

    If anyone knows a local garage/mechanic who can sync the carbs I'd welcome recommendations. I live in Cuckfield, near Haywards Heath.

    Cheers all. James

    Hi James, welcome to GSR. I like your thinking behind your bike, so long as it works and so long as it's fun.

    Can't help with the carb sync (unless you fancy a ride up here) but hope you'll stick around.
