suzuki gs1000st red 1980 model

Thanks for the numbers, appreciate that.

The 1980 GS1000ST has a few unique items that the 1979 model does not have, but I'm sure the rear pegs are the same on all the 1979 models, also the 1978 EN has the same square pegs but the EC has the round pegs.

Here's a link to Parts Outlaw, lookup 1980 bikes and GS1000S and then "footrest" you will find the part numbers and exploded diagram from the parts manual.

The pegs are no longer available but the rubbers are still available, I'm sure someone has some that will match the original for this model.

Check with Vmass, he may have what you need, once you get the pegs you will be able to figure out what's needed fro the brackets.

hi kiwi canuck........
i have some of it, but not sure yet what to do with the fairings...
can you post a photo of what you have and what you want for them?

Here are some pictures of the pre-production units, before welding and powder coating, but the set in Australia is complete and ready to mount a factory (or after market) fairing to the bike.

Cost is $115.00

hi ed, thanks for the photos.
im not sure if these frames are still hanging or you still have access to them, but if it were possible to send me some real close up shots of those rear triangular cleats that mount the pegs, i will greatly appreciate it.
i see there is a further piece welded at the end of that triangular piece that's just a little too small for my eyes... i have never seen this detail so i cant picture it, but i will need to manufacture it the best way i can and weld it on my frame...a pic of the footpeg would also be good if you have it handy... thanks a million

kiwi canuck i have an old broken up fairing for the bike and bits n pieces of the brackets also. im not sure whether to fix them, or buy an entire set thats better than mine....do you have a fairing and screen you might be selling also?

Met, if you are looking for a set of fairing brackets, there is a set in Australia for sale, another member ordered some from me and never took delivery.
One of the members here has them with him.

Let me know if you need a set. (2 uppers and 2 lowers)

Is that me with the brackets????
If so , I can send you some reddies so you're not out of pocket for them .
You and your young bloke put in a big effort on our behalf to organise this .
I can re-advertise them on here .
I have been trying to contact old mate Ozgs but with no success yet . Hope he's OK .

Let me know . Cheers , Simon .

Fairing Brackets

Simon, yes that is the spare set you have, I've sent you a PM.

If met can use them, or wants them great, if not I'm sure there is another member who needs a set.

No worries on the $$ until they find a home.

I do have a few spare OEM fairings complete with screens, but I think the shipping to Australia will be $$$$, I'm sure there is a place in Australia (or UK) were you can get aftermarket fairings and screens.
Very tough to find the brackets, that's why I had 30 sets made and unfortunately I can't get any more right now.

I had a spare that I tried to send to Australia last month. Ridiculous!! $400.00 to ship. That one stayed in the states.

I will check to see if I have the old rear pegs from my 80. I don't think so, but I will look.

Isnt he one of the Lads from Finley?
I think a couple of them are around on the Katana forum regularly?

[met]

yeah no probs kiwi canuck.....if you have a pic of a rear peg somewhere....that will help.

[met]

i have an old fairing and some of the brackets that i may be able to work on.
postage worldwide has gone up and it seems that all these outlets are making big the money.
australia post are saying that since the day of emails, their revenue on postage stamps have plummeted, but they never mention how much they make on
shipping parcels worldwide via internet shopping........anyway, right now i will need to work on the frame and get that side of it in a decent shape...

I hope your carbs are in a fair condition as none of the parts are available today.
Here's a copy of the microfiche with the P/N of the VM 30s.

And a close-up view of my rear footpegs

My bike in it's current form:

thanks john kat, i have plenty of photos of the bike. what i really need is a close up picture of the rear peg by itself and another of a close up picture of the metal cleat that it is bolted onto, without the peg attached....so that i can gauge how it all comes together and replicate it on my bike...... the carbie diagram is great info.....much appreciated.
