    1982 GS650G Nearly Finished

    After nearly two years of finding a bit of time here and there my restoration of a GS650G that was covered in rat poop, dirt, grease and dust is nearly complete. The frame was powdercoated, new old stock painted parts were found in Norway and the USA to give it a pretty nice new look. Only the installation of the electrical harness and a few odds and ends and she'll be ready to fire up ... I hope.

    Very nice!
    Are the stock handlebars? My goodness they are tall.

      They came with the bike so I'd guess so. It maybe the angle of the photo or the way I have them installed. I have 2 GS550T's and they're very similar. I've not had it down from the lift since installing them so once I do I may find they're at the wrong angle.

        Those are the stock bars for USA/Canada.

        In Europe, Australia and NZ they shipped with the lower superbike bars.

        BTW that looks awesome, nice job sir.

            Thanks David, truth be known, your restoration of your GS650E (pretty sure it is an E) inspired me to bring this old girl back to life.

              They look as though they are rotated up a bit far
