    what did you wrench on today??

    Finally got around to putting the KG rack back on my ‘78 GS750. Stripped the black paint off and replaced 2 rubber strips that were missing. Turned out well. Now to see if I can locate a back rest for it. For the wife🤓

    what did you wrench on today??

    Nothing too big. Noticed my neutral light was out on my ‘78 GS750 E. Ordered (2) from the local Suzuki dealer. Got them for $4.50. Not bad. Put it in and good to go. With a spare. Easy to replace.

    Would 1980 GS750 front rotors weigh less than ‘78 OEM ?

    I pulled up the dual pot upgrade for the skunk and using rotors off a Honda CBR. Ordered 1 off eBay to try and see if it fits. If it does, I’ll weigh the difference between OEM and the CBR for future references

    Old GSR items I came across

    Sorry, couldn’t think where else to post this. Found these going through some boxes. The top 2 were “ recently “ done maybe 10-15 years ago where the vinyl decal is like 15-20 years old. Of one of the GSR things I miss is my ballcap from that time. If old timer still has one, please post it.

    I found NOS points cover and emblem and gasket

    Cleaned up my old emblem and spray painted with primer and engine paint. Slowly scrapping the paint off the letters and looks good as I go along. I’ll post the final.

    Would 1980 GS750 front rotors weigh less than ‘78 OEM ?

    Looking to lose some weight where possible on my ‘78 GS750E. Starting at the front. Noticed the weight of the front while having it removed and I’m thinking of putting on slotted rotors from a ‘80 GS750. If this will help good, otherwise I’ll look into getting EBC slotted. Thanks as always for...

    Do you still own a GS?

    Took awhile to figure how to shrink the file size down🤪🤪

    Do you still own a GS?

    Real soon to be. Have the carbs dialed in, cleaning up nicely and hope to at least take it up and down the road. Have to still pull the front tire to look at / replace the tube. But real soon😎😎

    What other parts fit on ‘78 GS750E??

    It’s not too much an issue with tubes as much as I like to customize my bikes. You are correct the front is a 16”

    What other parts fit on ‘78 GS750E??

    I’ve seen GS700E rims on eBay for low $ and wondered about them on my ‘78. If they fit, it’d be an interesting look

    What other parts fit on ‘78 GS750E??

    General question, asking because the ‘78 cast wheels are tubed tire, what other parts will fit on the 78. Wheels, Gas tanks etc.and what years and models I know the 1100E train light will, with the headlight ears and the ‘79 front pegs will with slight addition. Thanks

    I found NOS points cover and emblem and gasket

    Have to love McMaster Carr, I have plenty of left over stock from my ‘83 GS1100ED days almost 20 years ago. Need 3 bolts, they send you 50😲😃😃, in a big ole box🤓🤓

    Has anyone put ‘80 750E pegs on ‘78 750E Solution found?

    Modding up what I feel is a solution to my folding foot pegs. Piece of aluminum attaching the “”new” peg to the frame hole. Front of the peg attaches to the frame and the rear screw steadies the assembly. Seems solid yet will find out once I go on a test ride. If it seems to work out, I’ll pull...

    Has anyone put ‘80 750E pegs on ‘78 750E Solution found?

    Has anyone changed over to the folding foot pegs on your ‘78??Got some from a 1980 GS750 off eBay and the left side holes line up perfect but the right side is off may a 1/4” on the rear mounting hole. Would it be possible to weld the stock piece on ‘80 part so the mounting holes line up?? Just...

    1978 GS750E, no electrical at all??

    There is only a 15A on the ‘78. Even though the fuse tested good, I decided to replace it with new. Sure enough I have power. Obviously been awhile since I’ve worked on old bikes but we’re back on track.

    1978 GS750E, no electrical at all??

    On my 1978 GS750E. Received it last weekend w/20k miles. Hasn’t been run in a few years. Good shape, just barn dusty. Got my new battery. Still no lights, no click on start button. Tried kick start yet with the old varnish smelling gas not surprising. Pulled the carbs for ultrasonic cleaning...

    crag antler is back on a GS

    Hello all, after being off a GS and lurking in the background, 🤪🤪 I’m back here. Andy Barr did me a solid and brought me down Edbot’s ‘78 GS750E. Only 20k on it and only a little dusty. Cleans up nicely. Changed and gapped plugs, drained old gas out of tank and checked petcock and screen...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Just got back from a local 80 miles ride. Looking for a local twisty but somehow missed it. No harm, found some more decent twisty roads in SC. Nice living on the border of NC/SC. Finished it up on some twisties in Lare Lure. Getting close to 90F so time to put the shorty windshield on the ole...
