    1980 gs 850 L....

    Well I did not do a complete tear down and rebuild. It sat in my dads garage for the last 9 years. Mainly had to do carbs, breaks, fluids, airbox, and had it re-jetted for the 4 to 1, my dad never had it re-jetted, went from the 110's to 145's. Need to get a new windscreen plus some other stuff, but here it is so far. I got a historical plate for...thought that was kinda cool.

          Very nice. But why an oil cooler on an 850GL? Oh, AZ tags. You might want to edit that photo.

              My dad put the oil cooler on many years ago when he rode it. Gonna leave it since it is there.

                  She is running AWESOME. The windscreen is tall but I like it. It has a couple cracks so I will be getting a new that I am sure will not be so tall.

                              That seems a very big jump in jetting for just putting on a 4-1. How do the plugs look?

                                  They look good. The guy that did the work is a friend and owns a race shop. He did it right, he did all the checks and balances and Dyno'd it.
