    Thanks Marc!
    Did you attach your signal lights to the fork by using the bottom triple tree bolts?

        let's see pix of the 1000 srsupertrap,
        nice one kochic/marc
        more pix that's the ticket!
        solo suzuki,
        I purchased this GS1000E in Sept 79 from NHRA Pro Stock Champion Frank Iaconna (sp?) with zero miles which he won at Summer Nationals at Englishtown NJ which suzuki was sponsoring. Who remembers the free Suzuki T. Vance T-shirts? I did most of the performance modifications in the 80's and it still has a lot of performance goodies from back then. I repainted it this last summer ala who knows what?

        Too bad we didn't have the GS forum back then to compare carb notes.

          Wow Great memories and a great bike. I wish Windsurfing equipment was like that; unfortunately when it is old it is old

                    cavilry, How does it run?
                    It has to run at least as good if not better than it looks.

                    Looks good!

                      It runs great! I got it for free cause no one could get it to run but now I starts first kick and runs pretty strong. The only problem is it runs a little rich and backfires when cold

                        Would this be considered "custom"?

                          Pretty cool....ditch the single mirror for some bar-end mirrors & that should look sweet, IMHO. Surprised you got it to run without any air filters.....probably even more surprised that it runs rich, unless you've already played with the jetting.

                            ya, it runs great...i was surprised too. I am about to order some air filters from z1. As far as the carbs....I have no idea what people have done to it before me.

                              (Best Clinton impersonation)...define "custom".
                              And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                              Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                                Not mine, but worthy of showing off for sure. Note the lack of down tubes... The panel work is the frame
                                This chopper was made by Kiwi Steve Roberts (prolly in the early to mid 80's) for someone called Earl G. I'm picking that Earl G is probably an American (not a common name over this way). Has anyone seen this in the flesh?
