      You have come to the right place FastGTO. I have an 81 850 that I was restoring about 5 years ago and someone turned me on to this site. I did not join til I had it all together and running but there is enough info on this site and Basscliff's to wrench yours back to life. Fantastic members, many in your area, and we are always willing to help out. Best of luck with the restore and it will be a bonus to your studies in mechanical engineering. As I was working on mine I was constantly marveling at the engineering that went into these old bikes. Post some pics.

          GS850 pictures first -- then GTO pictures...
          It's winter and riding season is done for many snow belt riders -- so share the love ...
