MY 1983 gs650L restoration progress

[Guest]

heres a few before and after shots of my 83 restoration I been working on since last Dec. My exhaust pipes are still in wisconsin getting cermachromed yet and should have those back in a couple weeks and just a few minor things and she'll be ready to roll...This bike has 7000 original miles and was complete. Shes sat for quite awhile but I saw definate potential. So far I've cleaned the carbs, did the shim dance on the valve clearences, plugs, air filter, oil change. Had new tires put on, new throttle cable, mirrors, grips, flushed the brake system (pads were excellent). New petcock and all new hoses. And of course the most noticable is the paint scheme I picked out and lettering. Had the chrome fenders redone in black and the 2 tone is gloss black with emerald green mettalic with the gold lettering and pinstripes. the exhaust did have the usual rust but it is solid and I'm getting them ceramic coated. And I had the seat reupholstered.
