    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Just picked up my 1986 Gs1150EF, its a legit barn find, all original with 30,000 K on the clock. One owner bike, the orginal owner was "scared" by this bikes power and after riding it fer a few years parked it...Carbs had to be cleaned, tank cleaned and the valves adjusted...new battery and it started up...needs some cosmetic work and a few kilometers to iron out the bugs...however I was pretty pleased with finding her and Im looking forward to the forum and the various experts...Currently located in London Ontario...$_27.jpg
 
Welcome aboard

The red and white color scheme looks great!

I don't know why but I always thought most 1150s came in blue and white, is the red/white more rare ?
 
Gmorning and Welcome,

Very nice find. I figured Glen would be here. Lol

Thanks for the warm welcome...I cant speak to the rarity of the colors, I can say that unmodified versions are pretty scarce...It was always a fav bike of mine during the 80s, when I couldnt afford one....and now that I can it does bring a nice grin to my mug...Needs some work, the rubber on the signals has rot...seat needs a re-skin....few other things however Im looking forward to looking back...if you know what I mean...

More than once, I have heard that the red ones are faster. ;)

Welcome to the site.
Who knew legit barn finds still existed?
Every one i have seen lately should stay in the barn.
Doesn't look like you need anything but there are 2 vintage swap meets in your area in the next couple months.
A small one on Sat. morning, Apr. 29 and the big one is June 16-18. Both are held at the Paris fairgrounds.
 
Thanks for the tips..Im thinking a replacement windshield as well as turn signals..the rubber hasnt aged very well...mind you...neither have I..
