    I just bought a Skunk!!

    I seriously don’t need another project, but a 1978 GS1000 came across my path. Please wish me luck. Going to pick her up this Saturday morning.

      Tank looks like it might be fine under the dust. Good luck, and keep the pics coming.

        Will do. I’m excited. Can hardly wait to get her running and rideable.

              Thinking the fuel tank will be the biggest ??? Hoping it was left completely full. Other than that, a good carb going through and she'll probably fire right up. Then to the normal maintenance stuff. Waiting for the verdict...and pictures.

                    I think with some finesse you could take one of the tank badges -SUZUKI- and make it say -SKUNK-

                      I’m surprised no one has done that yet. I think I’ll keep this one fairly original.

                            She’s home safe. Still trying to understand how to upload decent photos here. I’ll take another or two from outside later.

                            Update. The tank is spotless inside. Not sure what he used, but it worked. The exhaust is Kerker.

                              Go to Forum Q and A section , couple of lines down is something like photos are a chore. I think some stuff there will make your pictures easier and BETTER. Looking foreward to them... Also congrats on the Skunk.
