Saying hi from here in Wyoming. Owned my bike about a year, done about half of the recommended work. Might be taking a hacksaw to it- I know I'll get some hate

Thanks for the introduction.
Looks like a complete original stock condition.

Welcome from the middle of America!
I'd remove all the extra bits off and change the handle bars on that "L" model. There's a member here who has a 650L like yours...he loves it!

Quite a few of the "haters" will look at your picture and say "It's an L, go ahead and cut".
Appears to be an '82 850L.

I zoomed in on the side cover but the pic got distorted. (As for guessing 650L instead of 850)
Still a nice bike.

Airbox chrome is different shape and 650 only has one disk on front brake.Originally posted by GSXR7ED View Post
'81 850L looks virtually identical, but has the "snowflake" wheels.
'83 850L also looks the same, but would have black engine.
