So hey guys & gals
My name is Armando or Mando 8)whatever floats your boat. Anyway. I just picked up two 1982 GS1100GK's for $1200 one runs quite well with 70k (Brown in color) & the other has 30k (Black in color) not running but, 80% there. My plan as of right now is to run & Cafe the Brown GS while I figure out what I wanna do with the Black GS.
Ok here are some pictures ;D sorry none of the Black GS at the moment. Your not missing out on anything I swear...
When I got her home ;) LOL

I just got my universal headlight brackets, & still waiting on the H4 headlight conversion bucket assembly.
Still working on making a seat outta the original tail & a sheet metal pan. Haven't had any real time on that, though...

Anyway, there she is.
Glad to be here, finally! I've been in love with Cafe Racers forever but never knew they were called such a thing. Until like 5yrs ago. Since then I've been searching for my first one & here she is. My first bike was a 89 Sportster 883 but a month in of owning that, found out the heads were bad. :-[ So that got sold. But I love my new to me Suzuki.

BTW this isn't planned to be some showcase bike, I plan to build what I can with my grampas little mig & buy what my budget allows. A nice daily with some Cafe funk you know? I don't wanna feel like killing myself if I drop her some more. LOL shes a tank!

PS
all those parts removed are now for sale LMK if your interested, locals only.
