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.

Left for dead out in the AZ sun for 25 years....
First thing is get the faring in the dumpster, and see if it turns over at all....
At least it was in the AZ sun and not along the coast of Florida where the good salt air could work on it....
Welcome to the forum.
What he ^ said. If that windjammer is in good shape, it could fetch some good cash to help defray the resto costs.
Jammer looks good. Doesnt seem to have the sun damage I was expecting, least not in that pic.
.
Yah, is market for those.
I sold one real easy/quick for $150, as a good price for fellow forum member. (although shipping/delivery is a concern).
.
Advertize what model it is, II, III or IV or whatever.
Keep the mounting with it. Advertise what mounting it is for what bike.
Keep the wiring harness with it.
Is worth lot less if dont have the mounting and the wiring harness.
.
(I still might have electronic copy of the owners manaul. I think it was a II, maybe a III.)

Thanks for the interest guys....
I've been a Suzuki GS fan since Easter 1982, when I brought my first one home. It was a 1978 GS1000E with just over 1000 miles, and looked like something that would give a lifetime of thrills to a clueless 19 year old.
Here is a pic of me in 83 after I put my Kerker on
The GS I just picked up is more like the living dead.
I hooked up a battery charger and it turned over, so that was the first good sign.
I pulled the fairing off, redid the headlight/ignition wiring, and checked for spark...which it had.
I pulled off filter box and shot some starter fluid in it....and it fired....!!!!!
So I said what the hell....I plugged the vacuum to the petcock and put a bottle of gas onto the crusty fuel line.
Turned the key, pulled the choke, hit the starter.....and it fired on all 4 cylinders.
The idle started to pick up and turned choke off....and the damn thing was running near perfect...!!!!
Checked compression, and all cylinders read between 125 and 130.....It's a keeper
As far as the fairing....if one of you guys wants it.....it's yours if you want to pick it up...FREE

Awesome story and pictures!! I had a feeling your garage would look something like that, very nice indeed. Sure goes to show how bullet proof these old GS bikes are. Man, that exhaust looks like it's in pretty good shape, hopefully the tanks salvageable

No obvious holes in tank, and I was able to pop out the dent on the top....I'm going to fill it with pool acid and see if anything leaks out. It was how I saved my GT750J gas tank...
Welcome to the site, Busa.
With a collection and garage like that you probably won't be needing any help.
Nice to see another Skunk rescued.
I see a hot rod CBX in the background. Are you documenting that project anywhere?

The CBX as well as most my other bikes are found in this thread....
http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42550
Might need to go through a few pages to get to the CBX...
it's still not done, but will be in a few more months...

Welcome to the site....as others said....awesome spot, awesome collection. Heck even the beer fridge is old and cool.
Whats the old hot rod?
So cool that the bike fired and ran that easily.
