    Introduction from Canada - 1980 GS1000G

    Greetings all

    Just picked up a 1980 GS1000G. Approximately 20k miles and seems to be in good overall condition. Looking forward to getting it on the road soon! Will be on the hunt for some parts soon.. seat for sure as it appears that the pan is bent.

    also have a 73 Norton Commando 750 that has spent almost its entire life in the family .. Always a pleasure to drive

    looking forward to all the information this forum has to offer

    cheers 🍻

      Welcome to the site.

      How about a pic of that Norton?
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
