was actually liking the black light bucket my first of 5 gs' wasnt black but factory DARK navy blue nearly black stock 97 colour. 3 of my gs' were this colour. loved it. and yours too. want to get my hands on another gs at some point. even a frame and build it up piece by piece

Interesting..
6 inch light


Inside 7inch housing


Notice the small gap on left of outer rim.  Would any 7 inch fit in here?

I was just looking for clear lenses and came across them. I had no idea you could change the dot to other colors, thats interesting.

see how they are so excited!? ... all clearly thinking ... "wow, that guy with that cool headlight on his bike!, I bet he is a smooth lover!! yaaaaaaaaay!"

Golly, don't chuck away any plastic bits because of broken fittings. They can be fixed, I can show you how.

Ok, end of day 3 with some pics.


Pirelli Club front tyre...yummy!!! rotor is ok, just going to strip it down and put new bearings or regrease existing.... how does one regrease, how much is tooooo much hahah...


Rear tailight, bit shabby, needs some love


Headers are straight, just need a repaint



Collection of parts so far, notice the paper bags labelled with all small parts inside ready for cleaning and reinstall as we go



And how it sits currently after 3 days of about 1.5hrs each day.


Now.... I am keeping brake units and hoses in tact, quite frankly they are fine, just need a good clean and new pads installed once
back on the bike... got a set of Vesrah front and rear.  Nooooow how to take the triple handle bar and gauges off.... in what order and how hahah


My front end securing at the moment, I can see this an issue when I want to get the motor out or forks off hahahaha..

Some more work done today.

Front sprocket cover removal, clean up of the inside and see what I am up against, looks ok so far.  Chain is a 520mx DID by the looks, gold/black job and the rear is a 39 already, so will see what the front is once removed.  Chain looks ok I think hehe.... also the frame is ok after a WD40 clean up and I am wondering if a repaint is really required....dunno.... Also found a nasty revealed positive wire from its sheath and would explain some issues electrically its had of late.  Found it has no horn, so I have a spare ready to go.

Looking forward to going shopping tomorrow, some clamps, fuel hose, filters and we will see how it goes, I think I am not going to paint the frame just yet, get it registered, then ride for a while then strip it down after that haha... too eager.
Also, is there a rattle can colour guide for the GS that anyone has compiled ?? If I can find a match for the frame, then touch ups can get me buy for the little rust spots.

Golly

Some updates....
Getting her back together so she can be registered then later on a respray. Got a tank/seat bracket from a local wreckers and some rubber strip from Clark Rubber. Win win...but the airbox has to go damit as it wont fit with the way Ive applied hose clamps to the petcock haha...excuse for induction roar no doubt....any ideas from the Aussie lads where to get the k n n lunchbox from locally??
Fuel lines

Neat wiring

New grips

And an 89 for sale at wreckers...so tempted

Okie dokie... we have a couple of electrical issues, hopefully some help can be offered lmao!! hahaha..

New Headlight in, replacement 7inch whole unit, using existing H4 connector from harness.
ISSUE: Headlight does not come on with switch on right side, but the PASS flick button sets it off no issues there.

Indicators work a treat on the front, slow but ok, I dare say once motor is running they will be faster.

Idiot lights on guages all work no issues, bike is in NEUTRAL.

Wont kick over using the starter button, and engine kill switch is in the right place.

I have my front sprocket cover off currently, is this an issue ?

ahahhhh!!!!
This is just down the road, I will pay them a visit tomorrow and suss it out under the seat, making sure I have mine wired up correctly too hahaha...

Not to be insulting or anything, but maybe your clutch safety is still engaged and you have to pull the clutch to start the bike.

Worrying is a pain my man, a major pain.
