    My 1980 GS850G

    Bought her last June with a full fairing and rear hard bags. Previous owner maintained her very well. I'm 47 and live in Niagara Falls, Ontario and have been riding since a was a teenager. I bought the bike fully dressed with fairing and 3 hard saddle bags which I removed and replaced with original parts. I changed the bars to a drag bar and put on bar end mirrors.

    I live in Lockport N.Y. Pm me if you ever want to ride. Would be cool to get the two 850s together!

            Great looking bike. What did you do with all the Vetter stuff? I know of a Canadian member looking for bags and a rack.

                I still have everything, frame, bags, fairing and all the wiring. It's all in good shape. I wouldn't put it back on again, I like plain and as stock as possible. Where does he live?

                  You must have seen something that I didn't, I never saw the word "Vetter" until your post.
                  If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
