Looks nice, but don't forget to put a swipe of JB Weld around the paint line at the filler neck, Chuck.....1979 GS1000S,

Tank badges from Japan were the wrong ones!!!!!!!! Way too small for this tank. In any case, this forced me to rehab the originals as well as I could while in the hunt for absolutely new tank badges that are correct. I will take a picture of what I got ontop of the originals and youll see the difference.

She went down the road and thru all 5 gears tonight. Carb 2 has a dribble from the overflow that comes and goes as the float works itself up and down. Gonna pull the carbs in the AM and raise the float level a MM or 2 on that one carb. Should take care of the problem.
It will pee for a second or two and then stop and as it uses fuel it will pee again and stop.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

That is too bad about the tank badges.
Assuming they are a reproduction and also assuming the return shipping would have to be paid by you?2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Been the statue a couple times myself.
A couple years ago i bought a repro seat for a Honda S90 from DragonFly? in Thailand. $40.00 for the seat and $60.00 for shipping. They sent an early year model that mounts completely different.
Made more sense to start looking for a new project to fit the wrong seat. haha.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment
