After seeing my same model restored by kiwi canuck, I decided to do a full restoration on my 1981 gs650e.
I have been doing little bits here and there. Cleaning, sanding, polishing, a little bit of painting, replacing the rear tire and bit by bit, tearing down the frame.
I eventually had to face the most intimidating task for me - removing and tearing down the engine.
Other than 4 broken valve cover bolts, it hasn't been too bad. I've watched many hours of youtube, and looked at this forum...
