    Got another '82 GS1100E, garage filling up.

    I couldn't resist this, complete and original with 35K miles, fired up and sounded OK on starting fluid, so we'll see. It has a huge back fee with the DMV so I negotiated and got it for less than it would cost to register it. So there's a conundrum, part it out or go through the DMV hassle and sell.

    Paint is quite good, just had some silver splatter on it from some nearby project that came right out with a color sand. I still need to hit it with the orbital to give it a good shine but it's only got a couple blemishes. Tabs are broken off the side covers, but they are clean too. The tail section is a bit iffy. It's the first seat (not in pic) I've seen in a long time that's not split, but it has the silver splatter on it too, may be tough to remove. I have painted seats before with vinyl paint with good results.

    I like the red just a bit better than the champagne on my Turbo, but it's not in as good shape so I'll probably leave them both alone.

    It came with a pretty decent rear luggage rack that I will put on the parts for sale soon, as I don't think I'll need it.

    If I lived near you, I'd let you keep some of your extra bikes in my garage. Nice find.

      In some instances you can get the DMV to wave the past fees. I'm not an expert on this subject but I've read success stores more than once.

        I don't want you to part it out, but if you do, dibs on the tank, okay? No dents, right?

          Ditto here.
          But if you do... I'd be up for the front fender and the brace underneath it.

            It must be kept intact.

              Save it. It needs to be kept complete.

                Yeah I think I agree, I hate to part a bike out that's all there. I'm not in a rush and can give it a nice clean and polish so it can once again see the streets....

                  If Curly Howard was still around, I'm sure he'd say keep it together.
