    New guy

    Hi guys,

    I'm the proud owner of a 1979 GS750E that I'm bringing back from the brink. I've already done plenty of work that has resulted in a very nice sounding engine after sorting the carbs, air box and valve shims etc. but threre's still a long way to go and I'm currently struggling to find the correct pistons for the front calipers, but I will search the forum before starting a new thread on that.

    Anyway, good to be here and I'm looking forward to settling in here.

    Cheers Pete.

    Welcome aboard. This is the place for guys (and gals) with bikes like ours.

    Pictures are always appreciated. Videos too. We call it bike porn.

    Make it easier on everyone by putting your year and model in your signature.

    Welcome aboard!

        Welcome to the site, Pete.
        Plenty of UK members that should be able to point you in the right direction if you run into difficulties finding parts.

              Did he just put that in his reply? Or is that the sig?

              In any case, welcome new guy, Pete!

                Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I've been having fun finding the correct size front brake pistons, all sorted now but who'd have thought it'd be such a minefield.
