Hello everyone,
I live in Paris and I’m riding a1978 GS1000E since 2020. I’ve never seen other GSs than mine in France
My GS history…
This is my 2nd GS1000 I ever had, the first one was a 1979 GS1000 (wire wheels) and rode it in Japan from 2014 to 2017. I unfortunately lost it in a T bone collision with a BMW X4 crossing the road without checking his surroundings. I was extremely lucky to have only minor injuries.
Since I moved in France in 2017 end, I checked leboncoin (French Craigslist) everyday for a GS1000, and finally found the one I own today in 2020.
I had to spend a lot of time to make it look like what it is today, but it was definitely worth it.
Main mods on my GS1000E:
- KN air pods + dyno jet stage3 + Delkevic exhaust
- Full transistor ignition system
- GT750 discs + Brembo P08 Caliper + AP Racing Supersport pads
- Brembo racing PR16x18 master cylinder
- Renthal street bar + ZRX1100 throttle pipe & grips
- Hyperpro Fork spring + NITRON rear shocks
- 18” rear wheel from a GS750
- Continental classic attack tires
Currently I’m looking for a factory 1978 gas tank/ tail to match the rest of the motorcycle.
Nice to meet you all!!
