    1978 GS750E frame up restore

    Well finally got my new GS today. Weather not real warm so not a lot getting done today. Managed to get her up on the center stand. head light and speedo/tach off and cleaned up. Blinkers off. Almost forgot to tape and label the wires lol. Next is getting the tires and the front forks off. Just hopping I can do all this without buying a motorcycle jack. I will post pics as soon as I get them off my phone and on the computer. Also quick question. I don't have any keys for the bike. Any way I can get the seat off without any or major damage? Thanks for anything. This site has been great for info the little time I have been here.

          Without a jack when you take the front end off the bike will fall forward. Take the pipes off and support the frame under the engine first.
          The lock on the seat will have the key number on it, go buy yourself a replacement key on ebay or elsewhere.

          And welcome to the forum!

            Ya I started and caught it before it fell. I'm going to have to toss those pants in the trash. I had to quit until I can swallow my heart back down.

              Agreed. You can use the bottle jack from your car with a 2x4 to support it; don't necessarily need a motorcycle jack.

                I'm sorry. Yes I did miss that part and for that I really do apologize. I spent so much time on the carb section that I missed that part. I'm really enjoying all the info and learning. last thing I want to do is upset.

                    You've got to do a lot worse than that to upset anyone on here Poorman. Keep reading and post your progress. Did you download the manual for your bike from BassCliiff's site?

                      You didn't upset me.I found putting pictures up with Photobucket or other hosting sites is way better than the way you do it is.The forum admin like it to as it takes up WAY less server space.You can put up to 10 per post to which is a big plus in my books.

                        Hi Poorman, looks like we have matching bikes! Mines also a 77/78 750 (in Black).

                        I have had the same intention as you, been at it a little while longer though.
