Mouse, thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate it.

I'm trying to find top cover gaskets and bowl gaskets for the carbs. I did salvage the top cover gaskets but they are like dang tater chips (or crisps for the brothers across the pond.) The bowl gaskets didn't cooperate so they went into the berrymans soak as well and it didn't bode well for them. Z1enterprises has the top cover gaskets but wont sell the bowl gaskets outside of the rebuild kit they have, which I don't need. I found some folks up in canada with all my gaskets but it'll take 3 weeks to get them which I'm not to keen on. Any other stateside options?

Haha, is this site made up of primarily folks in the UK?

Thats alright, if you take the same measurements I can figure it out. That would be greatly appreciated, I am in California, though I get a feeling we don't share the same country, lol.

Mouse, they left 19" on the money in the marked area. Please forgive my editing skills, I used some obscure program on my computer and it was next to impossible to make something as simple as this. Heres a picture, the blue line denotes the area.

Actually, I would love some! I don't know how much he hacked off. I was just going to find a seat and fab to order in the respect. When I get home today I will take pictures without the seat and post measurements. I appreciate your generosity, Mouse.

Youre referencing the blue bike? I don't know. The seat is just sitting on top, it isnt "hooked" in as the PO chopped the rear and Ill need to fab up another bracket so the seat isnt free to do what it wants while Im riding.

Thank you, sir!

Lol, no. Ill post a picture of what I have envisioned.

Some more pics, tore the carbs down and let them sit in berrymans for a day or two then blew them out with some carb cleaner and air, everything looks good, just need new bowl and top cover gaskets. Its amazing what a quick buff will do to 40 year old top covers.

Good Morning, I picked up a 1979 GS750L for cheap, this is my first GS, and first real motorcycle project. Not to say I am inexperienced with projects, I am an AG mechanic so I get to fart with other people stuff all day at work, lol. Unfortunately, I am not partial to the "cruiser-esk" riding position of the "L." I have plans on gsxr front forks to drop the front end down and get just all around better suspension and handling however I'd like to keep the style of the bike similar to the factory look of a non-L model gs. Does anyone know if the frames are the same between the 77-79 gs750 models? It "looks" like the frames are very similar if not the same between pictures I found on the internet and looking at my bike. I ask because I would like to run a non-L style flat seat and tank, if there are differences, to flatten to bike out a bit. Any input is appreciated!
