A
Note from the Owner
When I bought the
bike, it was a pile of rust. Purchased it for spare parts and cost
me about 140 US dollars. It had been parked outdoors, for at least
two years, without being used. Never thought it would be running
again. As I started the engine, it ran like new! My wife talked me
into restoring this old GS.
Took me more than a year to get it back in shape. Now, finally, it's
in perfect condition.
All parts, except for the front fender and the brake lines, are used
parts. The disks are from an 81 model.
Total project, including new tyres, cost me about 900 US dollars,
and a lot of work....
Greetings,
Winschoten,
Netherlands
