    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.

It was like running into an old friend

The first GS I’ve seen in the 4.5 years I’ve lived in Hawaii! The owner is not a forum member. He bought it here and fixed it up a bit, maintaining original parts except upgrading to electronic ignition, a custom but matching seat, and a 1980’s gauge cluster to have a fuel level indicator. Considering he found it withering away on an island it’s in pretty good shape!

As far as I know the 79 had a fuel gauge, at least mine does.
However, it's perfectly possible a front-end smash could have resulted in mine being fitted with a later cluster, or the one in your pic might have been fitted with an earlier gauge set from a 750 or something.
In the event that something drastic happened to mine, the 80 tank may have been fitted, too.
Ach, who knows what befell these things in the hands of POs.
 
You may be right - he said the wiring and tank were setup for the fuel gauge, so maybe the PPO had swapped the cluster.

It was cool to see. I think about an old Suzuki from time to time but I really have no capacity for one. Just swapping a shock on my Street Triple is apparently more than I’m willing to do these days.
 
Is that Hanalei? Kind of looks like the park there near the end of the road... :)
