My name is Adam, My dad's mate has had a couple gs850's sitting in his shed for over 15 years, story goes after a bit of begging and negotiating I now have them for me and my wife to start the rebuild, we plan on a factory rebuild style but with a little more performance in the drive train and motor area of things. Anyhow hello and I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions and thank you in advance for all the help..

Hi All,
My name is Adam, My dad's mate has had a couple gs850's sitting in his shed for over 15 years, story goes after a bit of begging and negotiating I now have them for me and my wife to start the rebuild, we plan on a factory rebuild style but with a little more performance in the drive train and motor area of things. Anyhow hello and I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions and thank you in advance for all the help..

Welcome to the site and to the world of GS excitement where your mileage is stated in Smiles per mile rather than miles per gallon.
All of us here really like pictures so when you get a chance, post up several of your new acquisitions. Also pics of your beautiful country. Australia is the one place on this earth I would most like to visit.Larry

Always a pleasure seeing new member threads. As stated, pics are definitely appreciated.

Welcome Adam. Good luck with the rebuilds. Are you planning to do both, or use one as a parts donor?
Personally, doing concurrent restos would cause me mass confusion.sigpic
