Need to look at the tag on the other side of the steering neck.

This has been mentioned several times in your other thread.

I should have mentioned it in the other thread, the tag has been removed by one of the previous owners. It looks like at some point someone repainted the frame

Much easier to post a few pictures of the bike itself

Here is what he has posted in his other thread.



The VM carbs and solid rear disk hint at a '79 bike. The black forks, with leading axle and slotted disks, hint at '83 750 or 1100. Although the leading-axle forks hint at an "L", the triples appear to have enough of an offset to say that the forks (tubes only) were grafted onto a non-L bike.

There are virtually no other styling cues to give a hint at what the bike really is.

That is a 1979 GS1000 standard model, (some markets called it the 'C' model, so GS1000CN) it would have had a single front disk and spoked wheels.



Starting VIN 106722 and engine number range 121074 to about 145968

The 'E' model had cast wheels and the VIN would have started with 51XXXX
