Well, after a short seven months of ownership the GS1000 is gone to a new home in Las Vegas.
I really liked the bike but never completely "clicked" with it...
So when someone emailed me with an offer I couldn't refuse I jumped at it.
Hopefully the new owner will send me some pictures to put up on the site.
The bike I really want is still out there - a 1986 GSXR 750 with original blue & white paint. Let me know if you have one.
Stay tuned, I'll post a link to my next project.
In the meantime, I'll leave this blog up for others who want to restore an old tank like my GS.

I have a perfectly running 77 gs550 that I'm looking to update/mod a bit. do you have a good recommendation of a good starting point? most of my parts are in great condition- minus repainting the tank/frame. I'm debating whether to try to chop it down a bit and make it more cafe racer like. Most of your pictures aren't working by the way.
