For some with large homes, purpose built workshops and the like, getting a decent place to work on your carburettors is an easy task. At my house it is not. Our garage is the store for my property and holiday letting business and it is full of spare furniture, 3 washing machines, 2 driers and over 50 sets of bed linen and towels. Not to mention my set of acoustic drums and a 1000 watt sub amplifier. But I finally did it. Lots of junk thrown out and all the rest re-organised. Now I have a workbench, a small carpet on the floor (so much easier to stand on than concrete), a desk lamp and my tools to hand. Let's get to work.
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.

Starter Motor Wires / Stator Wires (Day 63)
Not sure is this is a conventional wiring set up. Looks to me like stator wires have been soldered here as I can't get them apart. I am going to have to give them the snip. They were also well taped up.

Garage Set Up (Day 57)
Winter is approaching here in Kent (UK) and I am going to have to make some room in the garage. Up to now I have been working on the bike in the exposed lean to. But I need to make some space first!
