Dragged, blinking, into the harsh light of not-day, the other GS prepares to meet its fate. With a cigarette dangling from the corner of its mouth and a sneer on its lips, it dares the filthy swine to do their worst.

I'm almost jealous .
No matter what you do to it , it is going to be better than it is now . That includes using a match .
What are the plans ?
Get it running and leave it cosmetically challenged ?
Full resto ?
Have fun .

Well I guess it could use a cleaning.Comment

The carb setup on this is the same as the other GS850 in my keeping, for the same reason (1). This one is wearing a Stromberg CD175 (1.75"), while the other now has an SU HIF38 (1.5")
