Gs1000sn

[Guest]

Hi thanks for the use of this forum.
i have owned many GS bikes I currently own a few.
The reason I joined this forum is I just picked up a 1979 GS1000s
i have done plenty of work in the GS without problem sourcing parts.
with this GS1000s I find all sorts of problems identifying specific parts.
are these an unusual model or is the gs1000 a transistion model where things are slightly different from bike to bike?

You need to be more specific to the parts in question.

The '79 1000S shares most parts with the 1000E of the same year. Main differences being some cosmetic items, the fairing, and gauges.

Edit: just noticed you are in Australia. For that market there may have been more changes from the E. My comments relate specifically to the USA market.

The Airbox boots I can't find them listed anywhere not even in SuzukiParts.
i ordered 78 GS 750 ones as I was told they were the same I hope that's right.
Has the vm carbs the same. I read the s has 28mm carbs and the e is 26.
i think by time my restoration is finished I will probably know all the differences.

I'm unclear on the carb sizes for the Australian market. I've read here, but no personal experience, that at least some S's came with VM30 carbs in your market.
