    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

IIRC with his past posts, he had no kick starter.

Im not sure the 79 head will swap right over to the 80 jugs...THo i suppose you could always swap the whole top end... never read that much into it...
 
Hrmmmm...its a mystery then.. I wish i could see more detail of your motor, but its all black..and shiney....Looks good actually. I was actually admiring the final drive. It looks good in black. Think i might do that to my 1000G should i decide to keep it and "customize it" a little..
 
Your bike could win the bad PO contest, if there was one

I notice the tank does not fit up to the steering head, thus the gap at the rear.

You're not kidding!! The story I got from the PO was that he had been working on restoring this bike for about 3 years off and on (he did provide me with alot of receipts for mechanical parts purchased). He concentrated on the mechanical aspects but then he lost his job and he needed the money. It ran pretty well when I went to look at it. I thought I had done my homework but I guess not very thoughourly. He did paint the frame, motor and just about everything else and did a pretty good job of it. I'm still wondering why he would have cut the frame tabs where the seat hinges connect?

I can get you measurements, placement and detailed pictures of the weld brackets, I you need them.

That would be great thanks. Any idea what I could use for the other half of the hinges?

Now I just have to find a proper tank for it. Maybe I should take pics of the GS1000E tank that I have and see if anyone wants to trade.
 
Post a parts wanted.

you could make them, but would it be worth the time?

I'm open to suggestions. I initially wanted to adapt a VFR800 seat to it and I had the pan attach to the cross member on top of the battery and the side rails on the frame with some heavy duty spring clamps. I guess I can probably do the same with this original seat. I just hate having to mod a perfectly good seat pan.
