If I were you, I'd post in the "Bike Wanted" subforum. You might flush one out from a GSR member near you.

Make it clear whether you're wanting something more or less ready to go, or a solid basis for a project, which models appeal to you, and approximately where you are and how far you're willing to travel.
Posting a bike on CrackList is a giant pain in the ass, so there are often folks sort of on the fence about selling that might get in touch for a low-effort, low-drama sale.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

I haven't had much luck with CL, FB marketplace has been better. People are more responsive and there are more bikes.Comment

They are priced pretty high right now in California but I did spot this complete ?79 GS750 in Pittsburg, Ca. It doesn?t look like much now but it might clean up reasonably (I wouldn?t expect any miracles on the forks or mufflers but you could factor that into a potential offer). it?s implied that it runs which is nice. I checked and it?s out of the DMV system so no back fees to worry about. Could be a good project.

Why people won’t even wave a running garden hose over a bike before posting it for sale, I will never understand.Comment

I'd be a little surprised if it just started right up without playing with the battery, starting fluid, etc. But it looks complete and price is not sky high. Plus, (
) it's not on the other side of the continent!

I would bet that bike could be had for $1k or less. Knowing that it probably needs tires, all fluids changed etc., etc., and etc.Larry
