        When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

              I get notifications of postings for this thread constantly. So somewhere buried in the pages I must have posted. So, here is what I dragged home almost 10 years ago for $225. 1983 GS1100E basement rescue.


              This is it's latest look, sneaking back to stock, sort of.


              This past year I've installed a new main harness, r/r off an 04 gsx, AGM battery, new front Conti tire, painted and installed my Rifle Fairing and the usual yearly maintenance. The old girl is a pleasure to ride and still turns heads.Almost forgot the barn find stock exhaust refurb and install.

                1983 gs450ga

                I know she isn't the biggest or prettiest girl at the ball, but she has come a long way from when I got her. There isn't a lot custom about it other than the paint and bodywork but I thought it worth sharing.

                        Updated pictures of my bikes progress. Just got the exhaust made for it. Still needs to be painted and wrapped, but otherwise the bike is pretty much done now.
