      Nice score. You basically picked up a set of Fox Shocks for $600 and they threw in an S for free.

        Marc gets another one.

        I gather that as shown in the pic is how it came (no seat, no exhaust etcetera). CAn see is still snow on tires from wheeling it in.

          Yes, the shocks need work but still a good deal.

            Hi Dave,
            Came with maybe what is a GS750 seat, a few various parts and lot of missing parts.In the box I found a Bassani baffle and 2 bassani spigots.The gauge worth more than the whole bike.

                  This one need work, not really good for a swap.I will know more when I find a key to open the cap.The bike came with no key and the ignition switch, gas cap and seat lock have all different number.

                      One is cracked, there is surely a tutorial here on how to change the glass.We GS'er are cheap.

                        I've taken them out before to tighten....gentle pry back the metal holding the plastic of the mirror...go around the whole mirror

                          Awesome! Didnt think yellow would fit it that well but it looks great!

                          I wish I had that style choke I just pull from the rack

                            Paint is hard to describe, a kind of candy yellow.

                              What's not to like about an air cooled inline four liter bike (besides the upper side cover mount )? Keep the pics coming.
                              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

                              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
