They won't sell it..or..? -
The story i keep getting is the owner of the yard is going to do something with it ! WTFComment

Any possibility of contact with the owner directly..in person or other means.I assume you do want ownership of this GSComment

Ant...funny you should post that. I was just up to Killeen Power Sports to talk to my buddy Paul and we shot the chit for a while at his work bench.
This years project bike they are doing for The Harvest Classic is a 76 RE5. Paul set up the Motion Pro gravity bottle and fired her up for me. First time i ever heard one run..sounds like a 4 stroke at idle but kinda like a 4 stroke / 2 stroke high bred at higher RPMs. Really a unique sound for sure.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

I would say that FAIR is a reasonable condition assessment. Mind you that the carb has something like 15 jets and diaphrams..so thats gonna be a BIITCH to get it right. Also the OEM plugs are NLA. A place called ROTARY RECYCLE is a guy that has hundreds of them and he may well be able to get SOME parts and provide lots of technical support.
There are adapters put there that allow you to use a standard B8ES plug in them.Last edited by chuck hahn; 02-08-2013, 04:02 PM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
