    There may be a frame hanging around, IDK if its in Yreka or Vernonia
    Are you guys still flogging parts off the 1000 that Rob and I bought and partially cannibalized. If so it's sure good to see it getting spread around.

        I've sent parts from that bike all over the US, Canada, England and Northern Ireland. I have the frame and it's available if he decides to put it back together.

          Looking at the pics, I'd be surprised if the main loop is bent. What i will say is, either put the motor back in or a spare set of cases in when you come to straighten any part of the frame. This will help hold the main loop straight while you push/pull/heat/tweak the rear section.

            I ran into Patrino Tuesday and, sadly, the GS is no more. He gave me some real weak reasons:

            1. Main frame is bent
            2. Swing arm is bent
            3. Forks are bent
            4. Shocks are bent
            5. Lots of broken parts

            In short, everything usable fits into a big tote

            He's looking at getting another race bike, as that will be cheaper than gathering the parts and rebuilding the GS
