    serial numbers

    hello!

    can someone confirm these serial numbers regarding a pair of gs1000's that i am now the proud owner of:

    bike #1, i think its a '78 gs1000C
    engine: 102186
    frame: 102192

    bike #2, i think this one is a '78 gs1000C frame with a '79 gs1000N engine
    engine: 122229
    frame: 106525

    lastly, was there ever a cast alloy wheeled GS1000 model with a single disc brake?

    The engine and frame number wont match on these bikes..the VINs ran consecutively but the engine numbers werent matched to any particular VIN...

    suzuki engine and frame numbers 1971-94

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Bike one was the 2191 one built and bike 2 was the 6524 one. As for single disc mag rims..Ive never seen one unless it was one caliper missing. The single discs were wire rimmed 1000s.

          Serial Numbers

          All I know is that mine don't match. In fact, mine is, incorrectly I think, titled with the engine number instead of the frame.

            Better check and get that corrected at the DMV..May cause future issues like for insurance payoff or in selling it. The VIN on the title should match the VIN on the steering head.
