    New the GS Forum. Hi!

    Hey All. I'm new the GS Forums and the GS line so I figured I'd drop in and show (brag) about my new to me GS550L. Last year I began to get the itch to get an 80's bike to work on. I ended up finding a guy selling a 1982 GS550L that had only 3900 miles on it. Yeah, 3900! I ended up deciding it was too good of a deal to pass up. The bike, as far as I can tell, was still completely stock and factory aside from a new battery and tires and it looks incredible It even has the entire toolkit. It ran good but still needed a bit a love.
    • Top end had valves checked added new seals/gaskets (had some oil leakage out of the head, still had factory seal)
    • Carbs rebuilt and new boots
    • Fork seals/oil replaced
    • Front brakes/fluid replaced
    • Oil/filter change (duh)
