    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.

Good deal?? 81' GS850 for $250

Make that a little over 2 hours. I just mapquested it. Let me know.
 
buy it, if anything you can part it out for over 250 easily
 
GS850G seats are different on 79-81 and 82-83 models. The earlier models are hinged, and the later ones are held on with a lock at the back and the two tabs/pins at the front. So that's out. The tank, airbox, and plastics are also different.

The carbs are the same, assuming they're salvageable. The engine is usable (there are a few minor differences in the valve and clutch cover gaskets, but the engine would bolt in). The brake systems and wheels are also usable, assuming they can be salvaged.

But where's the exhaust? :shock: And the front fender?

I'd maybe wave $100 in his face for the parts, but there's no way I'd pay $250. A clueless hack has been at work here, and who knows what else you'd find.

Bet he lost the title, too. :?
 
Thanks for the feedback bwringer. Yeah he said there is no exhaust, no calipers, will need wheels. I will probably give him a call today and see if he has the title and talk with him about money. I appreciate the feedback guys. :)
 
Hey...he "cleaned the engine and frame", that must mean she's ready to ride, right? :?
 
Yeah. I decided to not even attempt because I really don't have the space at all for another bike. Thought I did, but I don't. Appreciate it anyways.
