It is time for the much threatend and looong overdue rebuild, from the ground up to begin.
Garage was cleaned out to make working space, tools were opened and surgery began.
This is going to be a rebuild from the bare frame up, Jennifer is an '81 GS1000G, original colours were black with red and burnt orange, she is going to be rebuilt back to original condition and colour scheme, except for a few very minor details that will change just to enhance her cometic appearence, this is going to be the sweeeeeeetest GS on this mudball we call earth.
I know that I am definatly going to be married to her forever once she is done, because this rebuild will require me to way over capitalise in her, I will never get my money back in a month of sundays.
But that is cool and I accept that, it is not about resale, if I want an investment, I will buy gold, this is about me being passionate about the GS series motorcycles that have served me so well during my last 20 years riding them, and keeping as many on the road as I can.
So, spent the day stripping and five hours later, Jennifer is now down to rolling chassis.
I know, I know, "we like photos" sorry but my camera went on strike, so as soon as I get the pics downloaded off my phone I will post them.
Just a word of warning, this is going to be a looooong rebuild, as I can only progress as I get spare cash, which is scarce right now, and I am not cutting any corners.................watch this space.
There may be small odds and ends that I will need from the states that we don't get here, I would be more than greatfull if someone there could purchase for me and mail across now and again, as the need arises.
