New to me bike and testing new web hosting site

[jdvorchak]

Just bought this 77 GS750, non running, but got it on the road with a carb clean and two broken mixture screws, timing and points issue and very little else. I did put in a new blade type 30 AMP fuse and holder as the original was broken.

Also testing imgur.com for ease of hosting pics on the web and using in forums. Since Photobucket wants $500 per year to host I abandoned them and searched for a new site. This one seems pretty good so far.

Looks good! Bet those pipes bark a bit!

They are not that loud. Actually very quiet at idle and in the shop. But when my son took it down the road and got on it a little they sounded great! Kinda mean sounding actually. I had no trouble hearing him all the way around the block when he got "happy" with the throttle. Even heard him run out of gas about 1/2 around. It's .5 mile around the block here. He found the "RES" petcock position real fast!

Good deal! I know the feeling of finding reserve quick!

Always had a soft spot for those old Suzuki 4’s...

Hope the new site doesn’t pull the same stunt as Photobucket. I am currently able to just take any pics from my phone and load them here. Some sites still require a hosting site.

On the front fender the chrome is peeling off and it looks like the PO roughed it up and sprayed primer on it. No dents that I can see so I was thinking about trying to remove the remaining chrome and buff it. I have a couple of buffers, a buffing pad for my grinder and a lot of different buffing compounds. Can't hurt and if I don't like it I can have it painted, powder coated or chromed. I have no idea what color to paint it though.

What I do know about the bike is that 77 was the first year for a Suzuki inline 4 four stroke. Not sure if that means it's rare or worth more than the other years????
