    Sheeit! I've got that same emblem, only with the proper gold color lettering. Tried to sell it for ages and gave up! It's sitting in a drawer somewhere now.

      Do tell. 90 MM?. PM me if you find it. i got the one i bought and sadly as mentioned it does look too small. Lessons learned. I may be inclined to sell it to someone needing it if i can procure a proper size obe.

        A few years ago I sold 4 of those emblems, black and silver also black and gold. Most I got was ?5 each, about $8 US. Always check part numbers and be wary of # # # # # -47 # # #. # 49 is usual for 1000 bikes.
        My bikes 79 GS1000 1085 checked and approved by stator the GSR mascot :eagerness: and 77 GS750 with 850 top end, GS850g, and my eldest sons 78 GS550, youngest sons GS125. Project bike 79 GS1000N

          I did check the fiche for a 78 C model which is what the bike originally was. Oh well. Not much to pizz and moan about...just lick the wounds and move on.

          Fingers crossed Ed will find the one he mentioned and hook me up.

            As mentioned, I have the same emblem, only in gold, meaning the 550 size. It won't fit your 1000.

              Today is work on the bike day. Goals are change out rear rotor for proper size, change top bridge to one thats tapped for the handle bar cushion, get the fairing brackets on, and i have an older front reservoir that is pumping up so ill see if it gives me decent front rakes.Still debating of i want to add black edging around inside lip of the fairing around the windscreen or just leave it red.

                    Used the kit that Kiwi Canuk sold years ago. Digging around in my stash i realised i had 2 sets of OEM reflector brackets as well so there are the proper reflectors on it .And the windscreen is factory with the GS1000 printing on it

                      Tonight i got carbs synced and colortuned and painted a set of horns. I gotta dig around and see if i can find the horn mounting bracket and a handlebar cushion. Still have to do fork seals and put the front master cylinder i found on in place of that honda one i have on it now. Who knows... i just might get to ride it before winter!!!!!
