1986 GS750ES Rebuild

[86gs750es]

Starting to do a rebuild. Engine runs great, but the last owner painted it jet black then said he got stoned with his girlfriendand and broke mirrors and made designs over it... Needless to say I took those off right away and have no pictures prior to them being removed.


Contemplating original paint job or a black and red marbled.. Thoughts?
Already have most of the prep work ready...



This is my first rebuild so it's an adventure...

Done! Cheers. Anyone know of some good Canadian parts sites? My goals are to figure out why at around 5000rpm it is blowing some black smoke, and sometimes has a rough time moving off the start in first. New brake pads, exhaust, carb clean and sync.

I've never worked on a bike before so looks like i'll be burring my head in a manual!

All primed up and ready to go in my makeshift paint booth.


I'm going to use an electric sprayer. Let's see how it goes.
