A Note From The Owner...
I found this GS850 in very poor shape after being in a minor barn fire. I brought it down the stairs to my basement where I rebuilt the top end of the motor, the brakes, and the electrical system (Thanks, Stator Papers) among other things. Every bolt on this thing got an Evapo-rust bath and a wire-brushing. Reproduction decals, a seat, many hours of tank body work, and a few pints of paint later, the bike is on the road and looking great. Blast to ride! Thanks to everyone that contributes here- you’ve helped save another bike and created a new GS fan to ride it.
