GSX400E Project Suzzie.

Got her out on the town this morning. What a hoot! Really, just tons of smiles.

The tachometer reads just fine. Maybe it woke up? At any rate, thanks for the replies folks.

Did I say this thing is a hoot? It truly is.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have some spare parts in good workable condition. When I get a free minute and get off this thing I'll post in the For Sale thread.

Just right for a trip to Starbucks. Actually it's the right size for the type and time I have to ride anymore. Hard pressed to ever sell it not that I could get out what I have in it. No worries, smiles are worth more.

Waiting for the fuel gauge to move. Not sure it's fully functional yet. If not I'll buy one and replace down the road. Could be sender, could be gauge.

Clear the confusion.

OK forum guru's. What or when or why do I see two different side cover variations?

My 82 just states GS400E.

I don't know exactly what you are referring to, but Canadian GSX 400s just had GS400 as a model name. In Europe, the same bike said GSX; probably the Canadian importer didn't want to add any more letters.

You nailed it John. I'm ordering up some side cover decals and when I bought mine it said GS. I have seen pictures of GSX thus wanted to order the correct set.

You never know what the previous owner did.

Thank you Sir.

Europe is GSX, North America is just GS.

GSX means 4 valve cylinders in Europe, anything prior to the 4 valve was just GS even in Europe, however the X never made it to NA market even though they became 4 valves in 81.

My understanding anyways

Thanks for the reply. I have a GSX but side cover decal just states GS.

Sweet deal and just across the harbour from you. Are those a set of Marzocchi shocks I see?

[Runeight]

Great deal I would say.

Decided to finish off the GS side covers with a set of decals from BD Design out of Canada. Brian is a super guy to deal with. Currency conversion is cheap also.

When I get on my laptop I'll post more pictures. I know a hosting site is preferable but the iPad won't let me paste it here.

Its the little things.

Some more pictures of the side cover emblems and inserts.

I took many measurement's off a old side cover. Had a few tiny bubbles but decals always gave me fits. Acceptable however.



One side..





Then the other..





Have to admit it does finish it off. Much better.

Have a safe Holiday!
