GS1150ES Project Bike in Nor Cal

[King Speed]

This bike had been my street bike for the previous 10 years, but has been parked for the last 3 and needs some attention. The paint is a mishmash of colors, original matching on fairing, tank, front fender...side fairings dont appear original color and side covers are wrapped in vinyl. Tank has a dent top left. Seat has a small tear. Proper sized Bridgestone tires in good condition. Hagon rear shock that needs service as it seems to have lost its gas charge. Carbs have all Factory Pro components, needle jets, jet needles, pilot jets on stock air box, ran well. Factory Pro transmission detent arm and Trac King clutch from APE race parts. Regulator rectifier was upgraded years ago with no issues. This bike is registered as a 1983 as it was one of the early California bikes built with no evap canister/system. As per Cycle World article from April 1, 1984 - "the 1984 1150s sold in California were all brought in before January 1 and declared as 1983 models". I have a variety of extra parts that will go with, oil cooler, extra front seat, whatever else I can find that belongs to it. I do have an (aftermarket) fiberglass lower fairing which was popular at some point, but never put it on the bike to include. Battery has been kept charged and is still good. Vance and Hines exhaust, but I have a set of mostly complete stock pipes also. Needs carbs cleaned, shock serviced and oil/filter change to run. 3000.00 obo (in person, cash in hand), Shows 34,000 mi but cable broke, Phil
