83 GS750's E and ES into one

08-13-2016, 11:58 PM

So have a canadian 83 750 ES (non-runner) and a US 83 750 E (somewhat-runner) eventually they will be one good one and a parts or not so good one to sell.

So how to decide what to keep from which one?

Firstly the engine. The runner I can compression check but how do I assess the non-runner? Likely I'll take it down to the bearings so does it matter - or waht should I look at other than compression if tearing it down that far?

1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice
