    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.

Hello from Paris

Hello everyone,

I live in Paris and I’m riding a1978 GS1000E since 2020. I’ve never seen other GSs than mine in France :apthy:

My GS history…
This is my 2nd GS1000 I ever had, the first one was a 1979 GS1000 (wire wheels) and rode it in Japan from 2014 to 2017. I unfortunately lost it in a T bone collision with a BMW X4 crossing the road without checking his surroundings. I was extremely lucky to have only minor injuries.
Since I moved in France in 2017 end, I checked leboncoin (French Craigslist) everyday for a GS1000, and finally found the one I own today in 2020.
I had to spend a lot of time to make it look like what it is today, but it was definitely worth it.

Main mods on my GS1000E:
- KN air pods + dyno jet stage3 + Delkevic exhaust
- Full transistor ignition system
- GT750 discs + Brembo P08 Caliper + AP Racing Supersport pads
​​​​​​- Brembo racing PR16x18 master cylinder
- Renthal street bar + ZRX1100 throttle pipe & grips
- Hyperpro Fork spring + NITRON rear shocks
​​​​​- 18” rear wheel from a GS750
- Continental classic attack tires

Currently I’m looking for a factory 1978 gas tank/ tail to match the rest of the motorcycle.

Nice to meet you all!!

Nice find. The "78" tanks are rare, expensive, & usually going to bikes that are going to be put back completely original. My opinion the "78" tank & tail wouldn't add much to what you have now...A very nice looking old non OEM GS. Congrats on what you've got & Welcome.
 
Welcome!

I love to see European/overseas intros...thank you!

Your bike is beautiful!!!
