    the toy so far

    Not my cup of tea but a mate has gone bobber mad and when I found this just sitting I thought I'ld see if by doing one he would get it out of his system.
    is/was a 650 frame not a L told 550 motor tho I thought 550 had a kick start?

    What you see is a two day task so far progress may be slow as we don't get much time with both of us in the garage at the same time.

      Depends on the year. All GSes 850cc and smaller had them through 1979.

      Starting with the 1980 model year, they were all gone.
