81 GS450, Dayton Ohio

[Ktsteuart]

Hey guys, I?m Kyle and I?m from Dayton. I picked up an 81 GS450T a couple months ago.
The previous owner put on some drag bars, but that?s about it. I put all new turn signals on, as well as a new chain and some other odds & ends. This is my 2nd GS450; my first bike was a GS450S that was in rough shape. The new one is much more mechanically sound & was taken much better care of over the years.

You didn't realize it when you joined, but you are in one of the "hotbed" areas of GS ownership.

Send me a PM with a phone number, we can make arrangements for you to stop by some time in the next few days.

I am just south of you, down near the Dayton Mall.

Funny thing, Steve is getting three GS's ready for a trip around the USA and he's still interested in other folks motorcycles. What a great guy👍

Welcome. Nice looking 450.

Don't exagerate, Norm, it's only the western 2/3.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Steve, I?ll have to make it down your way once I get my no-spark figured out. I?m just south of 70 by Miller Lane.

Come down on four wheels, if you have to.

Welcome aboard. I'm one of the hotbed honnies too. ;-) Although, I don't currently own a GS.

Welcome to the board! I'm riding a 82 GS450t and having a ball with it this summer, just turned over 5000 miles on it so far this season. Unfortunately I'm waiting on a regulator at the moment, one of those "known issue" parts I should have replaced before heading out on the road for the summer. You'll find this board to be a definite asset to getting your bike up and running and keeping it that way.
