      in the picture it only looks like it has one front rotor, is that right? or is it an illusion (left rotor blocking view of right)

      anyways... stunning bike!

                          It is hard to tell, but I could only see one brake line as well. No matter, it is a gorgous bike! Congrates on the find.

                                  Yes, very stunning bike Kurt! As for the one rotor, the bike is the standard model which came with one rotor and wire wheels but has been since upgraded with the cast wheels from an "E" model.

                                      Beautiful machine, and in rare excellent condition. A most worthy BOM.

                                      I'm curious of the serial number, and her birthday? My '78C is serial #101273, and born 12/77.

                                              Nice ride. What a beauty.

                                              Probably my favorite of the GS's. An excellent price for the condition too, in my opinion. Especially with the stock wheels included and the stock exhaust system on it.

                                              I like stock intake systems too, but on those I can almost justify pods in order to improve access to the battery...
