If my resto ends up looking anything like yours does before you've started, I'll be a happy man.

You are certainly going to set the standard with this one.

Good luck and greetings

Good luck with the resto...look forward to seeing your progress!

What's the plan? Looks like you have a nice starting point.

I'll be keeping it mostly stock. Upgrade the suspension, she's a bit soft. Still researching paint for the frame. Kinda ruled out powdercoat due to the cost. Engine will be soda blasted and painted with VHT universal aluminum. Polish the cases, etc. I'm thinking about doing a somewhat custom paint job on the tank and covers, probably do the fenders to match. And then, a new pit replica seat cover. Should be fun!

So, the GS did great for me this past riding season. I've decided to give her some love. I'll post progress pics as I go. Here she sat last weekend.





And here she sits today.
