Son went down

[Monty850]

When I bought my Venture from Steve, I sold my 20 year old son my beautiful '82 GS850L that I had ridden for years. It is his 2nd street bike.
Last night, a cage ran him off the road, and didn't stop. He came out of it with a few scratches and a bruised kidney...other that that, he is ok. He really didn't need this right now, as he is going through a bad divorce, this was his only means of transportation...he loves to ride, and the bike was his only release to just get away from it all.

I may post a list of parts we'll be looking to buy soon. I have a parts bike that we can get some of it from. Bad thing is, I just sold the tach and cluster to someone on here who needed it also, and now these are trashed. Who knows, maybe I jinxed him by selling the parts.






More to come, as forum will only let me post 4 pics at a time.

Glad to hears he is ok. I have a cluster and tach minus the speedo. Came off a 83 GS1100g. Yours if you want. Just send me an address.

[Monty850]

Thanks. I do have a speedo from the parts bike.

We REALLY do appreciate it. He will be tickled.

Do they look like this? These are the pics I took of the spares before I sent them off.

Glad he is mostly OK ..

Man that bites

I just bought a GS850 parts bike (it is older 1979).. let me know if there is anything I can donate.

[Monty850]

We need handlebars. Tank and sidecovers need replacing, but bars are essential right now. They're bent pretty bad.

The donations are nice...and greatly appreciated. He did borrow the money to get it fixed, though, so if any of these parts are for sale, please let me know.

Similar but fuel gauge is in the tach. Gear indicator across top. Some bulbs burnt out. I send them in the next day or two if you can use great if not send them back.

[mriddle]

I don't know if I have sidecovers (or if they would work) but you are welcome to the bars.

I plan to pick the bike up this weekend .. hit me up early next week.

Sorry to hear about you son, glad to hear he ok.
It you need a set of bars I have a couple sets I am more the willing to donate.

aw come on, a little spit polish, some duct tape, that speedo will be fine!



i looked, and i don't have any clocks for that, but i may have a crash bar to replace that one. i'll get some dimensions of it this afternoon. you can have it for shipping if it will work.

Why am I not amazed at the generosity of this forums users?

Looks like your left mirror is ok. I gave my left one away but I still have my right one off my 79 750L.

Do you need this? Free for the taking!

[Monty850]

He has already ordered new mirrors, as well as a pair of handlebars.
Seuadr, could you post a pic of the crash bars? He wants to see what they look like first.

Thanks.
