    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.

In the quest to get our wonderful old 1980 1000G back to her former glory, we have found some off year sider covers. Will they fit? We can paint them no problem.

You sure you got your covers identified correctly? There was no GS1000 is '76. And in '78 there was no G model. The GS1000G entry came in '80.

To answer your question more specifically, no the '78 GS1000 frame covers are not the same as yours.

If you're still in the hunt, you might try www.oldkawman.com. He has a collection of suzuki side covers.
 
Like he said, no 1000G, pre 1980. I'm thinking the 850G & the 1000G shared the same body parts for a few years. Maybe "79" thru "81". I'm sure someone here knows for sure.
 
New side covers are still available from the factory. I bought one last year for a 78 gs1000.
 
Age old problem the GS850G/1000G are interchangable. The chain models GS 1000 E,S etc are different
