'81 GS550 Cafe / Restoration
This is my thread started to document my '81 GS550 cafe conversion / restoration project. Traded this bike for an old drum set I had sitting around. PO had already taken the carbs off to clean and lost interest with the project. He also included some extra parts when I picked it up including all 4 carb rebuild kits new in package, an extra seat, and a complete transmission assembly. He mentioned it slipped in 2nd gear, so a full tear down and case split is on the schedule. I will try to update this about once a week, and might be slow going due to wife and 3 kids with a full schedule, but the hope is to have this ready to ride by next spring.Tags: None

If possible, you may want to get a better definition of "slips" ....Slipping out of gear is far different (and worse) then slipping clutches(much simpler fix)
Those more knowledgable then me can elaborate.....Good luck. I feel you pain of the family/bike balancesigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

Maybe I should have put more detail in the original post, but I was having issues with the picture uploading so I had everything typed out 3 times and lost it every time . He said it would drop out of 2nd while riding. Even though he mentioned he didn't ride it much before he pulled the carbs off for rebuild. I wasn't too worried about it since I plan on splitting the cases anyways and he included a complete transmission assembly.
