    What a score indeed!
    Ya buck, we both scored huge. That yosh stage 3 4 into 1 will look nice on my new project. That's the great thing about these bikes. There like a box of chocolates. You never no what your going to get. I ended up going to this guys house that Dan bought the 79 gs750 off of and bought another Yoshi 4 into 1 off him. It's the stage 1, almost identical to the one that is currently on my 77, but it has some slight differences. A little shorter tail pipes and the header pipes are spaced out a little further. Not to mention that there was some pin holes and damage to the bottom of the header. I took it to work and had the welder there weld it up, now I just need to grind down the welds and bring back the shape. I'm hoping it comes out fairly good. Anyways that guy had a 1000 and his plan is to put the 29mm smoothbores "amazing condition" on the 1000 and the yoshi stage 1 from the 79 he sold Dan. I looked at that yoshi stage 1 that came off the 79 and the header was no where near as good of shape as the stage three he sold us, the thing was the can is trashed on the stage 3. For me, that's a simple fix. I'm going to buy a 2.5"x1.5' exhaust pipe. Through so paint on it and it will look sweat. Jeff the guy Dan bought the bike off of is a pretty solid dude, looks like he got what he was looking for and just wanted to flip it quick to get what he had into it and hopefully someone else could do the same. Now Dan and my self benefitted also from that bike and we met another Gs guy that loves these bikes. Dan as far as those rings go, measure up your stock ones from the ones I sold you and compare with the yoshi. You might get lucky and they maybe the same thickness as the OEM 69mm. If they are you can go with the stock ring set. Again not so easy to find though. As you know I'm looking for a set my self. Then again we can buy them from Suzuki for a measly $300 for the complete set. For a set of steel rings. For that price you would think they were made from gold!

      I need a quality pair of shocks for a GS 1000 I am building. If yours are for sale...

        For now the yosh parts have been shelved. I'll dig in and see what I've got to work with sometime this winter, I'll most likely rebuild that entire motor and throw it in at some point, but I have the wiseco 844 kit in the original motor already so it's not high on the priority list. I'm waiting for the aluminum swinger that I ordered from that guy out in New Brunswick. Right now my priority is dealing with the swing arm and shocks, then I want to get the wheels and brakes worked out.

        The shocks are available if anyone needs them, but they are showing their age. These would be better for someone who has a set already and wants parts. I should also mention that I live in Canada. Up here in the "great white north" we're used the the insane shipping charges when something needs to cross the border, I find many of our southern brothers suffer from sticker shock when it comes to shipping south. I live on the outskirts of toronto. I'm basically 2 hours from buffalo, but it would be cheaper for Someone in buffalo to ship a package to Florida and back than from me.
