OK, I'll take 600 dollars from him to haul that thing away. That's a fair deal.

Another chopped up frame destined for the scrap yard because I can't find the title or never had one and I started a project I can't finish. So many dreamers....need to wake up!Comment

One of the oddest things about these GS "chopper" jobs is the simple fact that any gs engine has that snappy , high rpm , racing sound. It totally contradicts the chopper look. sort of like thinking you are drinking Pepsi but its actually root beer in the glass. It does not register right in the brain.... GS engines are performance designed, more of a reeeer reeeer verrrrr verrrr sound,not a bub bub bub grumble grumble.lol
I am glad I left my 1100 stock aside from cosmetic stuff, no cutting or hacking. I am having a hard enough time finishing it without going that far.Comment

Don't get me wrong, choppers, bobbers, cafe, are fine when done right, but just to destroy a bike, being in way over your head, or even if you could finish it and get bored thats just a waste. Sorry, but can't wrap my mind around street fighters or rat bikes when they say it's supposed to look like sh%%! Laying a bike down is not supposed to be the norm.Comment

I'm still laughing, it's nice to have one so funny instead of just sad, I laughed for 5 minutes before I could post it.Originally posted by cowboyup3371 View PostComment

Not a funny but;
Man, I wish I had an extra 1600 laying around
This would fit righti n with my '82 450 L. That green can go though.
1982 GS Suzuki 1100 L This is a shaft drive bike that used to have a fairing on it, which I removed and added a conventional headlight, signals and horn. NEWLY INSPECTED with a new tire in front, back tire is good. New battery. Added a 4 in 1 header and jetted the carbs, painted the bike and now here it is for sale. 33,000 miles, runs good, will soon need a clutch, If you crank on it too hard the clutch will slip. It's a heavy old school bike and I don't recommend it for a beginner or a lightweight and you should have a working knowledge on GS's. It will save you money working on your own stuff, especially these older bikes. Right now it's good and ready to go to a new owner as I bought a newer model. I'm not interested in trades or low ball numbers. No free rides. Come with cash in hand. Will not hold it for anyone! Clear title in hand! $1650.00 717-572-0939Comment

Nice 'mod' on the sidewinder, to clear the brake pedal...

Yeah, as wisgolfer59 eluded to, the clutch is probably fine, wrong engine oil, and/or weak clutch springs, or just plain adjusted improperly. A tad high priced, but not a bad condition bike.Originally posted by Chirkut View PostMan, I wish I had an extra 1600 laying around This would fit right in with my '82 450 L.
