Just picked her up

[i h8 winter]

Hi all,

I just picked up a 80 GS450 however no title so I found a 82 frame w/title so at the end of the day she will be an 82.

When I picked her up she was in about 5 boxes which is fine with me because I want to custom power coat allot of the parts.

1 of the first major issues is I don't have a key so I was wondering if I could make her start without the key like most race bikes. 1 of my friends bikes to start all you have to to is hold down the horn and she will start up

Thanks for any input

Does it have the three digit code on the seat lock?

When I rebuilt my GS1100 the only bits left with need for a key were the ignition and fuel cap. So I bought a new ignition switch which came with a key and took the fuel cap to a locksmith and they simply redid the lock to fir the new key. I needed a new ignition switch anyway.

Welcome to the forums! Got any pic's of the bits and pieces?

You can go without a key but of course that makes it easier to pinch... and you'd lose the horn which you don't want to do in traffic.

What's the plans? Just get her in one piece or something custom?

Thanks for the info guys, I have some good news I went to pick up some parts today and the guy had an ignition with the key and gas gap for $7 so on to the next issues...

The plan is to make her custom, I'm thinking black frame/eng dark grey tank fenders and sides with red wheels

Is there a missing zero on that number?
You STOLE THEM!!! Just the key costs that much. WTG!

Cool, could turn out nice, and good score on the key and lock too
