1977 Suzuki GS

A very well preserved 1977 GS750 (the first popular 4 stroke Suzuki). I recently purchased it from the second owner who purchased it from a friend in 1979. I rebuilt both master cylinders & calipers (it now stops as well as it goes) but have otherwise left it as is. I was told the fork seals were recently replaced. It currently has lester mag wheels mounted (added around 79 or 80 according to PO). However, he kept the original spoked wheels (in great condition) in the original lester boxes. There are a few tears in the seat cover, but a second seat in almost perfect shape is included (a very small tear on one bottom edge). Also around 79 / 80 the rear shocks were upgraded to a set of Monroe's. Again, the originals in great shape are included. The tank currently mounted has one or two tiny chips, but is otherwise perfect. Also included is the original tank which was dented around 79, and replaced with the current one (a stock Suzuki replacement - the original is stored in the Suzuki box it came in). Chrome is all in great shape - with only light pitting and no rust. The only rust on the whole bike is on the rear baffles, but nothing that impacts sound or performance. The cam cover gasket was replaced a year or two ago, and it appears the cam cover itself may have been replaced (it has some black paint on it - and I think it was raw aluminum in 77). There is also a medium-sized crack in taillight lens. The tachometer functions but is a little slow. I have not yet lubricated the tach or cable. Other than that - just a great survivor. A good candidate for light restoration, or a great rider as is. I scanned the 79 title before registering it, just because it's pretty cool. Clean current title in my name. The bike includes the original tool kit, but the PO has (so far) been unable to locate the original manual. Any questions are welcome. You can see it in person if you're near Chicago.
