My GS650G build

[Beeone]

Well I haven't had much time to work on what I found to be a GS650 L, as I last posted I complete the carbs and got it to fire up and run, still have a long ways to go, build has been pushed to the back of the shop for now. I have a long list of parts I need to order, F and R bearings, exhaust header bolts, etc, etc. I will probably be ordering new clutch and throttle cables as well. I'll post more as to the progress I make over the next few months, cooler weather has rolled into the area here in lower Michigan as Fall season makes its start and the leaves are changing colors, I have been getting things put away.

What on earth happened to those rear suspension units?

[Beeone]

Not sure exactly what your talking about (?). If your referring to the picture I posted and your talking about the left side shock (?) , both stock shocks on this bike were all blown out , I could collapse the rear suspension just by push down on the seat with one hand , that's why I have gone and re done the rear suspension, I have cut down the rear fender and plastic splash guard and have riveted them together, added new rear shocks for a Honda which has lowered the rear about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Bobber style seat, re routed all the wiring and moved the battery, air pod filters, re jetted and rebuilt all 4 carbs, exhaust work, new aftermarket headlight ( not in picture) , etc.
