    Gradually gets harder to start and conks out after 8 miles ish

    Our starter-alternator guy said it was easier & quicker for him to modify brushes he had on the shelf than to try to get them for my nieces Honda 250 4 wheeler. For him it seemed no big deal... No clue about your electrical problem.

    No clue about where you are, but we have starter- alternator shops that fix this stuff. Mostly cars, trucks, tractors, etc, but they also do lawn mower, boat motor, and motorcycle stuff too.

    Too many GSs to choose from

    Don't see a problem. It's not some kind of specialty bike like an "S" or a Kawa. "Lawson Replica, it's a GS1000. Whatever "you" like is fine. Put the 78 bodywork on and just be honest, a "79" bike with "78" bodywork cause it looks much better. I'd be wishing the "78" bodywork was from a...

    Rear rotor for '79 GS850G

    Just wondering, if 6 is the limit stamped on the rotor, would anybody be scared to take it to 5 for just normal riding? No doubt, Riding like Wes Cooley or Kenny Roberts, for sure would be different.

    Warped sprocket?

    When changing your chain & sprockets anyhow, I can't think of any advantage of staying with the 630... 530 should be lighter, cheaper, and easier to fool with. Of course, just my opinion.
