And I have 2 new front brake pistons all the way from Canada. This is certainly not going to be a green (low air miles) motorbike.
Welcome to my 1983 GS1100 G Restoration Project. This bike has been in my family since new. It was bought by my Dad new in 1985 in Ontario, Canada. He toured the US with it with my Mum on the back (both have since passed away). I imported it into the UK around 1996 and rode it around London for a couple of years. Then it sat in the garden for 10 yrs (oh the horror!). Now: RESTORATION. Please use contact form page for comments. Click on photos to enlarge. Project started 18th August, 2012.

More New Parts (Day 161)
The best thing to do in the winter is to get all your new parts ordered. This is what arrived today:
I got 4 carb rebuild kits which have 18 pieces to them. I have yet to discover where they go! They came from a dealer in California (I am in UK).

Another set of pipes (Day 157)
Purchased another set up pipes which arrived today from a UK supplier. They are in better shape than my originals. They have no scratches or road rash. Very little surface rusting. One of the silencers has a rattling baffle. I think I am becoming a collector. (click image to enlarge)

Brake Piston Pitting (Day 156)
Just doing a bit of research on the brake pistons. These are quite pitted and I need to know if they are salvageable or not. (click on images to enlarge)
