I've had my 1978 GS1000E for 4 or 5 years and it's been through as many changes. Two major evolutions were just because, one because of an accident when I let my little brother borrow it for a weekend and now the fourth and hopefully final build is the result of another family member borrowing it. I don't blame them at all, it was just a series of unfortunate events. Luckily one that they will eventually fully recover from. I picked this bike up in decent condition. It ran and was all there anyway. Over the years it ended up like this:
She was a gorgeous and fun to ride bike. The upgrade list was pretty extensive and included an 1100 kit, custom brakes, upgraded suspension, custom paint, exhaust, Dyna ignition, a wire wheel conversion and much more. Then this happened:
I didn't waste much time getting her torn down and started mocking up the plans for the next iteration of my trusty steed.
Sadly, things are at a bit of a standstill with the holidays but it gives me more time to plan things out. Updates hopefully coming soon.
