My thought exactly -leaky petcock caused the bike to be parked
Or, lack of valve adjustments
Do the usual maintenance, then take it for a long ride down Hwy 31978 GS 1000 (since new)

Nice score there Charlie. Not sure where you're going to park it in your garage but nice score indeed. And look..another fairing. You know, they could make nice art piecesRob

Shsh! That's what Chris said. Parking will be tight. 10lbs in a 5 pound bag. I'm good at space planning. Washing machine and dryer is highly overrated. I'll save the fairings for you, along with ArtH's. It has matching saddle bags and lowers.

I think you should try that one with the fairing on for a while
You might like some protection, particularly going to BC and back1978 GS 1000 (since new)

Good point about the fairing Todd, but I've ridden mine with the Vetter and although it does it's job and is retro cool, it sure does feel like you're pushing a piece of plywood down the highwayRob

GS Rescue
I had scheduled to meet with the seller of the new 83 GS 1100 g at his house in Sacramento before 1:00pm. My friend ArtH called me Friday and said he could join me on my 4 1/5 hour drive and in the spirit of saving a bit on fuel costs, offered his small truck as the transport vehicle. This is the third time we've headed out together to look at and buy GS'es together and we've always made and had fun doing it. We've began to call these trips "GS Rescues". I know many of you check frequently for GS's on e-bay and Criags list and know it's interesting to keep your "ear to the ground" so to say, to see what bargains and bikes are available, just in case.
I left the house at 7:30 am Saturday and head south to the city of Mt. Shasta to meet up with Art.
We load up the truck and ....
place an identifying "GS Rescue" sign in the rear window & off we go to Sacramento.
We get to his ( Steve) house about 12:45 and there it is , setting in the driveway, with all the saddle bags, top cases and parts waiting to be loaded up. Clock work!
After an hour we're back on the road north. After a quick stop for a burrito, and fuel about an hour north of Sacramento, we're headed back north to our mountain home.
A rest stop near Shasta Lake
Unloaded truck at my house about 7:30 pm.
The 83, tucked in for the night.
The wife had a nice meal ready for Art and I when we were done and we toasted a successful "GS Rescue" mission. Thanks Art for your help and friendship. Thanks Steve!

I picked up a $150.00 650g last February for a spare engine and intended to part it out. I sold a LH switch gear and don't have the heart to let it go. Too complete. I'm a wimp

Good Job Charlie
Charlie - good good job there buddy. You've got the exact same one as me (Restoring my Dad's Bike). It has the air rear shocks and the air tube connecting the two fork tubes for equalization. The box section grab rail.
Looks like you have good mufflers too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
GreetingsRichard
