    I'll take pics this weekend. I have the tank off right now to replace the gas cap and possibly the petcock.

                  There are so many around here that used parts are readily available, and, if you are clever about searching other related vehicles, most everything can be come across.

                    It's a really cool, super comfortable ride. It feels more agile than the 1150 ever did, its brakes are fantastic, and its torque is instantly available. I really like it-possibly even more than my old FZ1.

                          I have a stock 99 Bandit shock with unknown miles, looks to be in good condition, thinking I'd try it on my 1150, but the eye to eye was shorter, so it's been hanging on the peg board for years.
                          Your's if you want it. I paid $35 shipped for it 10-11 years ago.
                          Maybe just a boing undersprung fest from the get go, so might not be worth bothering.
                          GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

                            I'm thinking of going with a Hagon, but I may be interested.

                              Quick question regarding repainting the tailpiece and the replacement fender I bought: Has anyone used Eastwood 2K Aero in gloss black? Any notes on prepping the pieces?
