Excellent point about the service tools! I want to post tons of pictures but I feel like everyone already knows what a bike looks like without a seat, tank and fairings! Haha! I'm just so.new I can't get enough of this site or cafe's period!

Lol, the general consensus is that its a helluva bike. It was more of an opportunity to get a free bike that made me get the 1000. Believe me, I'm scared of the damn thing. But I couldn't pass it up. It doesn't have a battery so I'm not sure the condition of the motor. As luck would have it, my...

What a great thread! I recently posted a required tools thread since I just got my first project bike. Hopefully our threads can help each other out! Good luck!

Hey all, FNG here. Just got my first bike a couple of weeks ago 79 GS1000. I also got what I consider to be a great set of starter tools. Lots of sockets with drivers and wrenches. A few electrical things as well. My question is, is there anything you guys have found to be clutch to have when...

I have a 1979 GS1000S I THINK.. the only reason im not sure is because the windshield I have doesn't look like anything I have seen while searching the web for. maybe its after market since the exhaust also after market (kerker). I cant...
