A Note from
the Owner
When I bought
the bike, it was a pile of rust. Purchased it for spare parts
and cost me about 140 US dollars. It had been parked outdoors,
for at least two years, without being used. Never thought it
would be running again. As I started the engine, it ran like
new! My wife talked me into restoring this old GS.
Took me more than a year to get it back in shape. Now, finally,
it's in perfect condition.
All parts, except for the front fender and the brake lines, are
used parts. The disks are from an 81 model.
Total project, including new tyres, cost me about 900 US
dollars, and a lot of work....
Greetings,
Winschoten,
