    New to me GS 750b

    I recently found a 77 750b with 18,000 miles on Craigslist. it's been many years since I've ridden and never had a Suzuki but have the bug again. The oldest and first bike I had was a 1980 XS400. This bike needs a few repairs and has some dings but is in generally good shape. My plan is to do a mild refresh/mod keeping it mostly stock looking but with basic upgrades to the suspension, brakes, electrical system, etc

    It came with newish tires, a Dyna S ignition, and rebuilt brake calipers already. I will be swapping out the his/her seat for the original style. There is some carb leakage and the valves will need checking as well as needing clutch cable replacement and new chain ( going with a 530) and sprockets and a few other things and go from there.

    Here she is.

      Looks really nice & complete. Congrats on the find. May want to think about a seat from a "78" or "79" GS750 "E". Nothing really wrong with the flat seat but the "E" seats were just a little up-grade from the flat ones & still OEM. Mounts are exactly the same...Oh Yeah, Welcome.

        Those were the bikes that sent Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha "back to the drawing boards." I remember them well.

          Nice looking ride; throw a set of Hagon shocks on the rear and you'll enjoy the ride for not a lot of money

                Hagon shocks and Sonic springs are part of the plan.

                The seat on there now is one of the uglier ones I've seen.
