I have started a winter project of restoring a 82 GS650G. Bought the bike a few weeks ago for $300 Canadian dollars and will be stripping it down to the frame, sand blasting and powder coating it all back to life. Found a brand new tank, side covers and tail piece and will have a new seat cover fro Pit Replicas to finish it off which likely won't be until spring that way it is going. I will post pictures once I figure out how to do it correctly.
The bike was pretty rough when I got it with a lot of parts missing or removed. As such I need a photo or two of the layout for the electrical and air box configuration so I know where everything fits in. The on line manuals with the exploded views show me what parts there are but not quite where and how they fit together. So if there is an 82 650G owner out there that could help me I would greatly appreciate the help!
This will be restoration number five for me, the others were 550's. I really appreciate the support and info that so many of you post and share here. I have posted the "project". Be,ow as well as my latest conversation/restoration of an 82 GS550L to a T.
