Selling my 1983 GS750ES / 1976 GT550 hybrid. What I have is a 1983 GS750ES chassis with the motor from a 1976 GT550 model. The motorcycle was mocked up then completely disassembled to paint the frame and then reassembled with a lot of new parts. I have only put about 500 miles on it since completion a year ago. I will describe below everything that was done to this motorcycle during the rehab. Frame: -Frame was modified at the front downtubes to get the GT motor to fit.

Jetting is pretty close but does need a little fine tuning (what 2 stroke doesn't seem to need a little tweak? lol) Has expansion chambers of unknown manufacture.

Factory painted. -Windscreen in very good shape. (most are yellowed and cracked) -Gas tank is in excellent condition. No rust issues and never coated. Petcock is kinda hard to turn and may need to be resealed. -Gauge cluster is from the 76' GT550 -Original seat cover in nice shape. Starting to crack at the rear corner. Passenger strap missing. Electrical: -Combined harnesses from the GS and GT. Completely unwrapped and inspected then integrated the GS chassis harness with the GT engine harness.
