      Thanks for the info on the mirrors.
      Good price and they look like they are wide enough to offer a good rear view.

        Steve, I have been running those mirrors since 1997 on my GS1100G Custom Cooley rep. They work great with the S fairing, very adjustable and a little wider than the OE S mirrors so you can actually see behind you.

          Very sweet bike sealpup!

          Glad to see the dual exhaust setup. In OZ did the 79 SN come with 17" rear wheel? My U.S. model 1000SN has 18" rear wheel which was standard in this market.

            Congrat!! a very nicely done restoration. For sure there are a few non-stock parts but you blended them in very nicely. Heck those mirrors almost look like they will show more than just your shoulder blade. Again, super nice job.

              Oz & NZ had 18" rear wheels for 1979 (SN) not sure about the 1980 model, I believe the ones shipped to Europe with the standard dash had 17" rear wheels.

                Thanks for the info Greg, I remember something about the 79 fuel cock now that you remind me, (not that you want to be reminded, I think we all have 1 or 2 of those purchases during a rebuild)

                I just clicked the link to the mirrors, it says "close out special", "1 on hand" I wonder if that means they are discontinuing that model? would be a shame if they did.
