ebay is your best bet but its rare to find a decent pair together. often they come up as rusty battered parts and sometimes the odd NOS appears but very rarely as a pair.
i spent ages searching for a decent pair but ended up getting mine rechromed instead.1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion! -
I agree with Adrian...lots of these odds and ends are getting more scarse. Maybe find one side on the Bay and then the other later..but rarely a real nice set together. I ave a few sets that are crappy but can be salvaged with a good rechromers touch.
I thin k someday I will just gather the not so good stuff and see IF i can find abargain full batch dipping price. Makes it more economical the more parts you can "bundle" into a dip.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Just remember there's a extra wire on the GS1000E for the self cancelling turn signals, distance counter.Originally posted by tom View Postsigpic

I thought about Dale (Rustybronco) when I saw this thread. Dale has, or used to have a bunch of Gs1000 gauges and stuff. I sent him 3 oldies, not necessarily goodies gauge clusters. Checked E-bay and it scary how rare and expensive these old parts are becoming.Originally posted by chuck hahn View Post
Check out this GS1000 petcock.

77 / 78 750 petcocks fit perfectly on the 1000s..only difference is the facings of the nipples. But a 750 one is way cheaper than a 1000 one..so cut the expense any way possible these days.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
