    New Owner

    Wanted to join and say Hi to everyone! Picked up an '81 GS1000GL over the weekend for $600. Im in Springdale, AR. have been looking for a GS for a few months now. having the ozark national mountains, pig trail, and mt magazine to ride through the GS1000 is a perfect match in my neck of the woods.

    from a quick run down this weekend its gonna need tires (hold air but no tread left). as well as a stator cover.
    will do a tune up and fresh fluids.

    was "rodded" at some point and has ape hanger bars (hideous). and no gauges.

    i may stick with a slight "rod" look. but getting better suited bars for me. as well as getting some gauges set up for it.

    ill try and get pics of it as soon as the rain dies down and i can pull it back out of the garage for cleanup.

    by the way names Dan. feel free to call me whatever sticks to mind haha

          Repair manuals among otherr things for your bike are here.


          Could be those are the stock L bars. Agreed, hideous.
