    New to GS Bikes.. need some help.

    Ok, I've got a '79 GS750 something and not too sure how to tell. On the title, the VIN starts GS750E... or something to that effect if I remember right, but looking at pictures, the seat is all wrong on my bike, and I think there's a seat from a GS750L model as best I can tell. Do the the E and L seats fit the other bikes? Also, I've been trying to find a new choke cable for my bike, as it is froxen, and no longer moves.. tried the dealer, no lock, same thing with Dennis Kirk. Anyone know of what the changeover is for those, or where I can find it?

    Thanks

      Ok, so how can I tell? I'd really like some specifics so i can be sure, and if I DO have the L model, then the parts I just ordered are for the wrong damn bike.

          I wouldn't trust Wrench on this, but you can trust me!

          Yes, definately an "L".

              The "L" has the cruiser look, and the "E" has the sportier look. Your bike is an "L"

                  Yes, it is an L, but it would be a lot easier to see it if you resized that HUGE picture

                          I heard you have a 26" monitor set up at home, and you "park" your wheelchair about 18 inches in front of it in order to see.......... 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

                              My mistake, I had to reduce the pic of it, in order to fit it on my screen/monitor. (made it look much smaller)
