Just purchased a GS850

I agree the bars look a little higher than my GS850GL. I also have the turn outs on my bike and yes they sound good but I would like to go back to orginal mufflers. Nice bike

Thanks for all the nice comments and info everybody. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna replace the handle bars and grips, they just don't seem to fit me, and they jam my wrists on the bumps.

I'm just impressed at how many nice looking GS850's are around out there. I'm probably gonna get the tank redone as well. I'm not that into airbrush especially when its a half nude woman with a sword between my legs. Just not my thing.

Shamer we can set something up if you want to hear em ring, lemme know.

Just air brush a shirt on her and turn the sword into a broom ;-).

Paint looks pretty nice other wise, would be pricey to do it over to that quality.

A year later and I'm still dealing with the airbursh. Her front leg won't get off the ground but I don't care. I'm still riding with the original paint job. :-D

Gotta love the GS.

Yeah, It is a Problem (albeit a GOOD One) that these Bikes Run So well that No One wants to Shut Down Just to Deal with Minor (Or Major) Cosmetic Issues.:-D

[Pyloff]

Dead on there. The darn thing started after a year of sitting there. In the garage no love, still painted up. I paid too much but I didn't expect it to give me my moneys worth.

GS convert here.

Especially when the bike is the same age an me... Its a bit of a creepy cool factor.
