Greetings Fellow GS Enthusiasts,
First time poster. I inherited a 1982 Suzuki GS 1100 GK from my Dad.
It hasn't been running for approximately 5 years. I have ridden it with Dad during the previous years, but he let it go and asked me if I wanted it.
He also has a 1982 BMW R100 I believe. I am currently searching for someone in the central Ohio vacinity who will help do some work on it, and eventually I'd like to restore it to mint, or near mint condition. A friend of mine has and took a look at it, but between school and family, he said he doesn't have any more time to checik it. From what he gathered so far, the ignition needs replaced, the carbs need cleaned and tuned, the rear brake caliper has a bolt missing, the fuse panel is cracked, and the front fork has a wobble. (Suspecting fork neck bearings need replaced.) I'd like to get it up and running to do some summer riding, then do a more intense restoration effort during the winter months.
Looking forward to some great info. and conversations with y'all.
Til then, have some enjoyable and safe rides.
