Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a GS1000 as a project bike. It sat for 20 years under a tarp & only cost me $100. The title says that it is a '79, but the fairing that came with it makes think that it might be an '80. I cannot find any info online about the bike itself. The Manufacturing sticker has all but worn off & Suzuki Powersports USA cannot look up any vin or serial numbers before 1981. I just completed the cleaning the carburetors and I am waiting for the new seals to come in before putting them back together. I will be sanding, stripping, and repainting the bike to its original color (or close to it). I am debating if I should put the fairing back on it or find and install OEM headlamp and turn signals.
The previous owner kept meticulous maintenance notes & other docs on the bike. All his notes showed parts and equipment for GS1000N. I am not sure if this actually the "N" model or the base GS1000.
For those interested the Serial Number / VIN is GS1000-107349 & the engine serial number is GS1000-123862.
