He calls it an '84 GS850, it looks more like an '82 GS850GL. :-\\\

This one took the worry of falling over and denting the tank out of the equation.

If you accidentally dented one side of the tank, just dent the other side to make it look intentional.
If you lost the side covers, just paint the battery box so it looks like a cover.

That's one way to KICK the "L" out of a bike... Don't remove the seat before priming that crap, just shoot it...

Not funny per se, but every once in awhile we can enjoy something other than the ugly to look at. However, there is a funny in an otherwise perfect bike. Can you spot the one thing they did not restore? (not necessarily in the picture below)

Speedo's a bit gnarly looking. There must have been a reason for that. I'd certainly not be in favour of zero-ing it, and while it retains an element of patina, it just looks totally out of place. It could have cleaned up a lot.

Yeah, my thoughts too. The speedo could have been restored without rolling it back, at least replace the cracked glass. I mean if they spent all that money to restore the bike, why scrimp on the speedo? Otherwise very nice /2.

Well at least they used a GS front end on this project......

Endless mo-betta newer engine tranny combos available.

Appears to be from an '82/'83 850GL or 1100GL.

Tail light appears to be off the same bike.

No worries. He wont be selling it anyway. Leaving it behind is the only realistic game plan here.

At least he didn?t paint the ?star? pattern in the wheels white.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

All the good work on his bike was done by contractors. He want's money for their work.
His contribution was the spray can clown colors. :stupid:

 

[Boriqua]

At least he didn’t paint the “star” pattern in the wheels white.

What the devil is it? LOL Or, was it?

 

[Carter Turk]

88 Katana 600 or 750 would be my guess.

 

[Steve]

The Kijiji ad says it's a 600.

Hell, it wouldn't be worth $800 if was licensed and on the road. LOL
