suzuki gs1000st red 1980 model

[met]

hi,

im just new to this forum and im looking for people with either this bike or knowledge on this bike,
that may point me to the right direction on some issues regarding the resto of it.

i have recently purchased this and i know absolutely nothing about this bike....

but im starting out with the frame....

someone before me has put an angle grinder to the cleats that hold the rear pillion pegs....see photo.
i dont know why this happened and i find such a thing quite incredible.
...anyway, it is what it is.
im trying to find someone who has a photo of one close up, so that i can get an idea of proportion and of what to weld on the frame.

ive done a little research but from what i understand, this detail is different again on the blue and white model....?

not sure.....

any assistance will be greatly appreciated...

Looks like a fun project.

First off, please read this on how to post photos to GSR and have them show up in high definition glory...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...t_pictures.pdf

If you can find a scrap 1000E frame I think you can transplant the missing section onto your bike. The US market 1000S bikes received rearset pegs, but the frame is very similar to the other chain drive 1000's otherwise.

thanks again ed.....trying to find any frame here in sydney, is quite a feat in itself.
no such luck so far, thats why im here...i will plot along regardless.

Found this picture, I have quite a few shots in my restore thread, you may find better pictures in there that are more suitable, also a little bit of inspiration for your rebuild.
BTW I'm building a database of all the GS1000S's, can you send me your VIN (Frame Number) Will be GS1000 53XXXX, either post it here or PM me with it, also engine number as well if you can.

Met, if you are looking for a set of fairing brackets, there is a set in Australia for sale, another member ordered some from me and never took delivery.
One of the members here has them with him.

Let me know if you need a set. (2 uppers and 2 lowers)

I don't know if they are the same on the S, but I have a gs1000e frame I can cut for you.

Here is a pic of where it is on a gs1000e (wont let me post says gif image wrong or something) LINK http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...0e/rearpeg.jpg

Seeing as you are using Photobucket, you can post the IMG (i.e. URL) link:

Thanks BigD I thought I had tried that, but maybe not if it worked for you.

Heck of an offer right here! GSR is a great place!

rudeman, your photo is pretty much the detail im looking for.

thanks.

you dont have one, with the peg off, by any chance and one of the peg by itself?

i need to get the proportion and size of that triangular cleat that is welded on the frame.... as you can see from my photo, this
cleat has been cut of and i will need to mig weld these back on, and then try and find two rear pegs to match yours....

[met]

thanks gregory for your generous offer. im not sure though these are the same condition.....they are probably the same frame, but i think the rear peg assembly is different. i may need two pegs though by the end of all this.......as soon as i locate what pegs to use i will send you a picture. thanks again.

[met]

hi kiwi canuck........
i have some of it, but not sure yet what to do with the fairings...
can you post a photo of what you have and what you want for them?

[met]

thanks again kiwi canuck...........your picture is also the detail im looking for.
its the size and proportion of that cleat im trying to gauge so that i can weld it back into myn, thats missing. (see photo of myn and where this has been cut of)
also looking to see in close up, the type of pegs i need to buy for this detail.
there seems to be an infinite amount of suzuki pegs for a gs..............
do you have a pic showing the cleat and or the peg by themselves, by any chance?
