Took another video of the GS450A yesterday after doing some polishing up of the bike after a wash down.

They seem not too bad but it will be sensible to change them for something fresh.Originally posted by 1948man View Post

Magnificent Memories
I know this thread is about your GS450A but I'm gonna talk at your Gixxer, the beautiful countryside of Scotland, and that eighties pic of you on the Gixxer.
I like it with the fairings installed but could get use to it being a neked Gixxer. Either way, that bike looks like sheer enjoyment!
I do miss the beautiful countryside of Scotland. I was in awe of the landscape and how the land was utilized by its inhabitants. It felt like going back in time because of its natural beauty. I can probably explain it better but I will leave it at that.
Now as far as your pic on the bike...so 80s. (Which I pretty much declare the best decade ever!) Anyhow, what a handsome devil you are...I'm surprised to hear you have problems with the Ladies. But then again, we are men.
Thanks for sharing pics and YouTube vids of your bike.

The older pic with the Gixxer is around '97 or thereabouts. Probably close to the time HK was being handed back to China.Originally posted by GSXR7ED View Post
Coincidentally, I bought the bike from an American guy that was going home to the USA.
Here's some 1980's shots!
p.s. flattery will get you everywhere lol :P

Took some new photos of my bike today after transferring the title and choosing an "Antique" tag for the bike!

Well I noticed my front left fork seal was weeping today so tried the "dragging-a-bit-of-thin-plastic-around-the-seal-method" to clean it out.
Just like this chap but without buying a "Sealmate" product:

Hopefully it will work but fork seals look pretty cheap on eBay so far....just the thought of all the work to strip and replace that puts me off but not the end of the world really I suppose...
One of my mates in the UK suggested using an old photo negative but it was easier to cut up a gallon milk jug that was in the bin!
I still need to think about taking the carbs off again to see if I can figure out where the hell those bloody BB's came from....!Comment
