Oooohhhh. . . it's like a veil has been removed from my eyes. And that raises a new question. Can you say anything else to make me feel more like a douche ? The link above is to my gs owners post. In my defense, I'm still a baby in the gs world. I've only owned one for about 6 weeks so again I apologize for my outburst. I've read this forum like the bible and seen the term "rare" used A LOT but hadn't realized I'm kinda sitting on a gem. I put that link in so y'all could see the color, red not black. I would like to go ahead and say I WILL NOT be "hacking up" this tank! I will be back this afternoon with detailed pics of the tank asking how to get the dents out instead of putting them in. Although I'm at this point undecided if i will keep the tank (more than likely) or sell it and get one to concave the sides.

The bike you have linked appears to be a 1978 GS1000 (base model). It originally came with wire spoked wheels as evidenced by the single front disc brake caliper and the color of the paint on the tail section and tank. The side covers were originally black, not burgundy as well.

Don't hack up the front fender either. If in good condition, it can also bring in a few dollars.

Oh, and a wire wheeled 1000 cafe' can look awesome if done correctly.
