Hi Mark,

This 1978 GS1000E was not a basket case when I purchased it.  I'm almost embarrassed to say that I had nothing to do with its pristine condition. All I did was write the check! 

I found it on eBay - it was very accurately described (for once!) and un-hyped. It only had about 11,000 miles and had always been well-cared for. I have been very pleased with it, but for the awful suspension.  In desperation, I located your wonderful forum and was given the info to improve it drastically.

It now has new Progressive fork springs and 15 weight fork oil  - I will probably be putting new shocks on it, but  everything else will remain stock.

A big THANK YOU to The GS Resources Forum and its helpful members.

Sincerely,

George Brown
