Title: Ya'all were warned I was coming

I am the guy who bought KSUGreggy's B4.

It was actually purchased for my wife, although I have ridden it more than she has. I've been around motorcycles all my life and have always liked Suzukis.

My two bikes are a cherry 1983 GS1100S

and a 1985 GS700ES that is somewhat a work in progress.

That 400 is a fun bike to ride, very nimble and light. The D&D is way too loud and will be changed soon. I'm thinking a Yoshimura TRS Oval would look good on it. I will be selling the D&D when i get the exhaust done. I will let you all know.

:welcome: Ahhh... the original Hans Muth designed Kan-a-tuna...  :stickpoke:

You should feel right at home with us. Several folks here have or have had various GS's, too.

I'd like to take the D&D when you let it go. I spoke to greg about purchasing it before it was sold to you . lol glad to see I can finally get my hands on it.

Thanks, She is almost ready to go back on the road. I took the motor/tranny out to put in a new second gear and the "while your at it" bug hit. The frame came back from powder coating last friday and I had the seat recovered to look like the original, but with a little flash. The seat that is on the picture is the ugliest thing on the bike. I also made some custom mounts for the oil cooler.

Oh, I forgot, this isn't GS Resources.

The Bandit got new cafe mirrors today.

I will let you know when I have the new can on there, then we can make a deal.

You're more than welcome to share your tales of GS - or any other non-Bandit bikes in the General Motorcycle section... that way the B6 & B12 folks that don't frequent the B4/2.5 sections can enjoy it too!
