The beast lives again! Just got back from my first ride after re-building the top end on my 850. I can't believe it. Until I came to this site, I knew nothing about working on old bikes, cars, or pretty much anything mechanical. Now I'm re-building motors? Who would have thunk it. You guys are great, I can't thank you enough.

1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D
I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things. -

Great to see you share your excitement! You should be very proud of yourself!
I too joined the GS Club here a while ago with little ability and knowledge and now, with a few dollars and some time I am willing to try most things on my bikes. All the credit goes to those knowledgeable senior members here who unselfishly guide us learners throughout. It is a very cool community!GS550T 1981
