    [QUOTE=motogeezer;2201775]Picked up late last fall. Very clean, 14000 miles. ...... After a variety of bikes between the two 650's, I think I'm back where I belong./QUOTE]

    It's always good to be back where you belong.... Mine has 48000 and runs well- a nice cruiser, just what I wanted back in 1981 (and more so now) .Plenty of neglected ones out there, so scooping parts is easy!

    edit: find some normal handlebars,

      Try some Daytona or Euro bars on that 650 and see what you think. I didn't enjoy the stock bars at all.

        My first ride on the GL told me the bars needed to be replaced. The day after I brought the bike home, I ordered a set of Daytona bars. While waiting for the new bars, I rotated the
        stockers so they were lower, and a more natural position (as compared to a wheel barrow). Big improvement. I have the new bars in the garage, waiting to be installed, while I figure
        out the plan for the cables. I read various stories; re-route the original, or purchase cables for a GS. Any one have a definitive solution for the loooong stock cables?

              . I ordered after market motion pro throttle cables for a 79GS 1000s and they were still a little long, however, the clutch cable I got from them was good. This is for euro bars, the daytonas sit up a little higher as I understand
