Hello everyone! Recently picked up a 1980 gs850, and currently wrenching this beast back to life!
Im a college student studying Mechanical Engineering. I'm located in SoCal. I want to thank EVERYBODY who has contributed to this website it's helping me through all my current dilemmas!

Welcome! 850's are great bikes. BTW, we love pics!

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.

Yeah, 850's are great and all that. But I want to hear about this FastGTO as in your name...

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