Hi, this is my first post here, so I thought I'd share my project.
It is a '77 GS750
I found this in a barn last fall and it had sat for 20 some odd years. Last titled in '82; it looked like this when I found it, and beleive me, it looks to be in better condition than it actually was.
The full path of my exploits is here, so I won't bore everyone or bother typing it all again.

Anyway, this is my first rebuild & actually the first time I really tried something so involved. Other than pay a guy to cover the saddle I made, and have a few broken studs removed, I've done everything myself. Short of splitting the engine case, every part on the bike has been rebuilt or replaced. New Paint, gaskets, bearings, harness, top end, Dyna ignition, and the list goes on. I found a set of 37mm forks and a dual disk setup, along with an aluminum swingarm, so those items have been upgraded from stock. The rearsets are adapted from a Bandit, and a set of 29mm smoothbores are in the works. The paint is Nason (PPG) Corvette Red & Arctic White with silver pinstripes.
Before it was ready to ride, it took me 363 days, mostly working on weekends and whenever I had spare time, but here's the result:
Bikes: 05 Triumph & 77 GS750
