New Member - 1983 GS450L

[Guest]

Hello!

Excited to be on the forum and pick some brains!

I picked up a 1983 GS450L on the weekend, and I am starting my first ever cafe/tracker/scrambler (haven't quite decided yet) project. Bike wasn't running when I got it, but I was able to get her going once I got home. Carbs are a mess, and I am not sure they are original to this bike, as there isn't a vacuum port to be found on them and they take fuel from a banjo fitting on the left side. Anyway, here are some pics. Bike has been torn down now, and I am waiting on a few parts.

Hello and welcome. You’re in the right place.

Best place for you to start is the Top 10 Newbie Mistakes, see link in my signature.

Please create a signature for yourself in settings, include, at the very least, your bike year and model.

We'd all love to see pics of that carburetor set-up you got.

On posting pictures on this forum. the way you did it, the forum will only allow 1 pic per post, and it has to be clicked on to show a not-so great larger image. To post better quality and multiple images in a single post, the only way to do it is to paste in the BBCode of the image hosted on another site. Imgur and Flickr are 2 of the preferred sites. they're free. A link in my sig will show you how to use Imgur to paste pics into the site.
