A Note From The Owner...
This bike was discovered in a burned down barn and was in very poor shape. It spent about a year in my basement undergoing a full restoration. The biggest hurdle was tracking down the missing parts to rebuild the motor, the brakes, the suspension and the bodywork. After applying reproduction decals and fresh paint (my first full paint job), this GS850 is my go-to weekend ride and my favorite build I’ve completed.
