GS 1000 Parts Search

[Guest]

When I am looking to buy parts for my 78 GS 1000 there is often no option for just a plain GS 1000. Usually there is more than 1 option, 1000C or 1000N or 1000E... What diagram do I click on?

And, is the VIN a factor???
Thanks

Depends on which model you have. There are some subtle differences between the models. Post a pic and your VIN and I'm sure it will be identified.

The wire wheel, single disc brake front wheel 1978 GS1000 is a 1000C. C = 1978. The 1978 mag wheel, two disc brake in front bike is a GS1000EC, although the C is typically dropped in this instance.

Then mine is the EC

Here she is boys. That is not the original tank, but I am hoping to salvage it.

I'm going to try to attach another pic here, but I'm not sure the forum will let me...

Notice in the 2 fuel tank diagrams, there is the 1000C & the 1000N

Now Nessim tells me that typically, the C is dropped.
I'm not catching on to the Suzuki way of thinking here...

Thanks

The 1000N/EN tank doesn't have the indent through the emblem like the 1000C/EC tanks did.

Ok, so for everything else, it an EC or even an E

Thanks
