    Hi Daniel,

    Oh boy! She's really looking and sounding great. It looks like you're having a ton of fun. So now you'll add it to the rotation for Bruce's rally next summer?


    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

      I will probably be selling the 79GS1000E (Blue w/Red/white stripe) and the '81GS1000G (Blue w/gold stripes) some day.
      The "Keepers" will be:

      '92 GSX1100G (the only stock bike)



      '82 GS1200G (Still looking for a stock seat)



      '81 GS1000G "Goldy"



      '79 GS750E/1100 "Franky"



      '78 GS1000E Blue w/gold/blue stripes (This one)



      '79 GS1000S/1100E 4-valve, mono-shocker, single seater
      (currently, still in pieces.)




      Of course, all of the 1000's will be 1100's some day...

      3 Shafties and 3 Chain-driven, should be enough variety for anyone!

      That should cover it for my street bikes.

      The 2002 Aprilia has been claimed by my oldest Son. But, I still get to ride it.

          Fixed the leaking tach cable today.
          Of course, I had the parts in stock from our friend's at Z1 enterprises.
          (You know, those guys that a certain forum member continues to say sell junk parts. )
          Here are a couple of those "junk" parts:



          I have never seen one of these that was one piece. Usually, they
          have the flat piece of steel that lodges into the cylinder.
          It took quite a bit of scrubbing with a wire brush and solvent to see the part!
          It has been leaking oil and burning on it for quite some while apparently.



          Before the Sun set, I took it for a short ride and a couple of pic's.






          That's all for today...

              I just cannot wait for the tank badge stickers to arrive to finish it off!
              It looks naked.

                  I am also having the guy make me some custom GS1200G stickers for the side covers of that bike.

                  More great news about this '781000E.
                  After riding it last night, I checked the battery today and it was at 100% charged!
                  I never checked to see if it was charging yet.

                    You mean you have a GS charging system that works *without replacing the stator and R/R*???? Awesome!

                        Only one out of seven needs some attention.
                        The rest work like Suzuki designed them to. Imagine that.

                          I finished replacing all of the side cover screws with SS Allen bolts.
                          I still need to replace the 2 on the after market throttle and the screws on the switchgear with shiny allen's.
                          None of my bikes will ever look as nice as your fine examples though.

                              Pete, there tends to be plenty of doom and gloom floating around about the charging systems.
                              Clean ALL of the connections in the wiring harness and add a couple of good grounds to the existing ones and they tend to work as designed.
                              A couple/few extra grounds never hurt a thing.
                              I have one bike that has been through 3 Hurricanes and multiple snow storms and still works! (uncovered!)
