My 83' GS750ES has been delivered

[grcamna2]

Hi,I'm Bill and presently living in Davis,CA.
I was looking on this forum for a used GS for sale after having joined back in 2018' with a 1982' GS450TXZ.
I found a 1983' GS750ES that was for sale after looking at a link from CL posted here by a member;the bike was in Sterling,VA.I know it was far away from me but it looked so good even though it needs a good bit of work to get it operational.I got in touch with the seller who is a very decent man and asked him if nobody bought it please give me a call because I want it.
I had a lot of different ideas about possibly going to go get the bike myself but $ is still a struggle and then I started a thread about how to get the bike out here to me which gave me a few different ideas.I decided to have it shipped through a shipper which was recommended to me by a member.The bike just arrived this morning and the shipper has been paid in full.I now have a good bunch of work ahead of me before she's 'road ready'.The brake calipers need rebuilding as the bike drags heavily when I push her around the parking lot,especially backing-up.Do any of you know a good place online to purchase all the brake caliper rubber seals? I imagine the best is OEM Suzuki which has very good quality rubber parts. Bill

I've tried uploading pics of the bike off my phone onto this forum but I'm not able to.I'm not hooked-up with an image hosting site, I've never used one so far.I am technology-challenged when it comes to this stuff but I may be able to upload from my phone to the desktop? Someone mentioned it could be possible to resize the photos to upload to the forum that way.

Please get yourself a proper image hosting account. Flickr works well. Upload there and then link the IMG tag here so the photos show up in high resolution. The tiny low resolution photos as hosted here just plain suck.

Good luck with your project.

Ed,Flickr is a program I upload or a service I buy ?

www.flickr.com is a photo hosting site that is free and fairly easy to use.

Thank you Steve. I've been real busy today diving into my bike that I haven't yet signed-up on Flickr,but I certainly will.

Glad it finally arrived!

Good News.

So the transport took about 3 weeks, but seems like you got a good price for the service.

Do yourself a favor and don't even try the start the bike until you go through all the various maintenance items including a full carb rebuild, tank cleanout, valve adjustment, and so on. Please check the Newbie Mistakes thread for a list of things to look out for. Once all that's done then there is a very good chance that the bike will start and run as expected. There is nothing worse than trying figure out what's going on with a misbehaving bike when the maintenance is not up to date.

Will do Ed.I want to be sure to look at everything and 'touch all the bases' to get it ready for the long haul.

Click on the photo you want to share . When the photo pops up click on the arrow that points to the right at the bottom of the screen . Another box will show up ..... Across the top will be share,Embed,Email, and BBCode ...... Click on BBCode ..... In the lower box will be the size and an arrow pointing down..... Click on that and pick the size you want the photo to show as . You might have to experiment with that to get the hang of the size you want ..... Once that is done Click on the box with the url in it . It will turn blue ..... Then press CTRl and C together to copy it ..... Go back to the post you want to show it in and click on the place in your post you want the photo to be .... Press CTRL and V together to paste the photo ..... All done

Ok bccap and Ed,I've got those directions.
Can I upload multiple photos at once,or one at a time ?
