Well acquired this recently, a 1982 shaft drive gs1100l, it needs some tidying and a fair amount of tlc but its there so might as well take it apart and put it back the way i want to.

Not the most sought after bike by a long shot but we’ll see what it ends up like lol.

First things first. Get the slut to run….

Pulled the tank off and took out the stale fuel.
Changed the plugs and charged up the battery… well thought it charged turns out battery is knackered so that’ll be the next purchase.

Also found a split in the fuel feed line which will be replaced when im replacing the first of what im sure will be many sheered bolts. (One of the tank retaining bolts) especially since it needs some work on the shaft, either the knuckle or the shaft itself.

If anyone has any parts for these or even spare bobber project parts just laying around hit me up, as im sure whatever is there will come in handy same goes for any info on them or any genuine tips.

Ill update this further when i get the battery and fuel pipe done.
