        That was too easy! You'll find the GS1000 to be a great bike. It has such nice lines, has a fair amount of power, cruises at any speed all day long. One of the more comfortable seats and great handling. Very forgiving. That seat is the "unstepped" one, quite rare to see one in that condition, and a lot of people prefer it over the stepped one. Don't be surprised if you get offers on it.

        Enjoy!

          You said something about putting a 4 in 1 header on it. Just so you know those stock pipes are very hard to find, and they go for a very high dollar amount when they are found. They are no longer available new. It took me about a year to find a decent used set, and that was some 6 years ago. Best keep the stock pipes if you put a 4 in 1 header on it.

              Sounds like you got some down time ahead of you to get to know the bike and get it sorted properly.
