Hey I am 17 year old cegep student ( Quebec scholar system, It's between highschool and univeristy) ,from montreal, in the field of mechanical engineering.
Proud to have obtained my full motorcycle license at 16 before my car license a bit stupide , but passion is passion :
I wanted an old bike because I was facinated by cafe racers, so one thing lead to another and this summer I ended with 300$ 1977 gs750 in a quite good condition.
Like any gs750 It wasn't long before it died on me du to elctrical issues.
luckily the compression is near perfect for all cylinders and I found the biggest maintance document on the 1977 gs750 thanks to this website !
I am planing to change and buy:
-The tail and all the backsection
-I would like to have spoke rims but It's not something crucial
-speedo and rpm will be changed current speedo is dead
-the ingention wires ,stator, and rectifier (not sure about it, but it's supposed to be one of the best mods for gs's)
-battery for a smaller one
-the wire harness will be remade with new wires and new conectors ( this the thing that scares me the most :-\)
-Exhaust eventually , I will try to build mine at school
-clip-ons I have them have to machin spacers to fit them
-bar end mirrors
-New seat my mom will help thru this she do alot of artisnal work
-rear-sets
-new headlight bucket mine is broking
-fork dust protectors mine are craked
-Paint have no idea I might want raw metal aspect
-More tools
It's a long list but I am not planing to finish the build before next winter, but the bike would be ready to roll this summer.
The things that are holding me to start are
- A car because winter season and far travling is no easy thing to do with the metro-bus
- My familly and I are moving so as soon as the moving is finished I have a aproximativly 2 months of warm apartement space to work on my bike only issue it's on the sixth floor!!!!
finished with the blabla here are the pics!
The bike:
The clip-ons and the tools I bought for this build( I have to requip my self because I never had any tools only disorgnazied ratchets and screwdrivers)
