    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Another good looking example of a GS 850. Has been nicely put together from the boxes of parts.
 
Nice!

And yep, I've seen a few of Ron's restorations up close and he does not cut corners.

Very nice!
 
Yah, Ron, I recall that last fall sometime you said something about "there must be a GS somewhere that needs to be rescued".
And, Yes, you did.

Impressive.

Tell us more.
Tank painting?

Yeah Dave, I had to have Diablo Cycle make me a set of decals for this bike as they were not available in those colors. They only had the ones for a red bike.

This bike had a windjammer fairing and a set of K&E Engineering saddlebags on it when I got it. I paid $200 for the bike because the PO had the engine apart to fix an oil leak and couldn't get it back together. Turns out the "oil leak" was from the added oil cooler and not the engine at all!

It turned out to be a nice bike, but it's just not a good fit for my riding style. That's why it's for sale!
 
Why the heck is your garage so tidy? How do you do that? :p

That pic is with the bike parked where my truck is normally parked. You should see the side of the garage that I work in! It's not so tidy! :p
 
And the BOTM for March 2026 has a new home as of this afternoon! :cool:

And yes.........I did direct him to this website for all things Suzuki! :p
