Just picked this one up this morning=)

Here's my '79 GS750L. YES, it is an L model, say what you want about it but I think I did a good job de-L'ing it for a substantial riding improvement-superbike bars, one off seat and rearset fabrication, rejetted to 125 main's, APE filters, MAC 4-1 exhaust. Still under 9k miles





^That's me after a 180 mile ride from school in Schenectady, NY back home at Medfield, MA. The new 530 sprockets are geared more for acceleration and resulted in much more vibration at highway speeds. Not to mention the MDI shocks are like struts and the seat I fabricated I haven't finished... it only has neoprene foam which is okay for riding around town but feels like concrete after an hour on the road. I couldn't feel my A$$ for days!
Edit: some before pictures for comparison...

how did you do the seat/fender set up? that looks nice!

A few details to finish but this is basically it:

I must say that you, sir, have one of my favorite bikes on here. To be honest seeing this bike got me thinking about my own. I'm considering taking some queues from your bike and applying them to my own.

Props!

No hacksaws were used in this build. Does it still qualify as "Custom"?

This is my offering, mildly custom 79 1000 L, 1100 E headlight, mini blinkers, mini tail light, Alligator skin vinyl seat cover. Cut my levers down a bit shorter, Daytona Handle bars, painted my fork leg lowers - dark gray metaflake - Duplicolor Rim paint, also did the top of my tank with that same paint. Everything else is stock, engine,carbs, electrics.

My thoughts the same on the seat tail section. Looks very good.

I like the colors. What exhaust is that?

[smarzinski]

Gsxr, well pretty much everything. Most recent addition is the 91 GSXR750 engine. Actually not to bad of a swap. Other then a couple mounts there wasnt much fab to do.
