    I had a GS850G when my wife and I got together, they are very nice bikes. We put many miles on that bike. Nice find!

        Yes, I think it will be some fun. Just need some help getting her off the trailer! Came with alot of extra vetter stuff and original headlight bucket & light. Should be a good project!

            That trailer is dangerous!!!

            Jeff,
            Nice finds. Particularly that XJ650 being a four banger!! Bet it can be modded to a lot more HP. Sweet GS too, dude. You lining up your winter projects before summer hits...???
