You are bidding on a nicely restored 1982 GS1000SZ with a few custom extras. I had one of these bikes in 83 and it was too tall for my 5’7” height and I had to tiptoe. So when I did this restoration I shortened the front end 2” and extended the swing arm 2” to increase the shock angle. Result, the bike sits about 2” lower than stock. I repositioned the full-length rear fender to maintain tire clearance and shortened the kickstand. My goal was to keep the bike as stock appearing as possible so I stretched the swing arm in the front where it would be hidden by the frame. The engine has an 1136cc kit with forged pistons, a Falicon Performance prepared crankshaft with forged rods and a billet aluminum clutch basket with heavy duty clutch springs. I could not locate a stock exhaust system so I opted for period correct Vance and Hines 4 into 1 header. The stock carburetors were sent to a remanufacturer in Illinois for a complete rebuild including electro-polishing and have been properly jetted to the engine setup. The stock petcock was replaced with a Pingel dual feed high flow petcock. The stock air box is being used with a K&N performance air filter. Every hose, seal, gasket and bearing has been replaced. The wiring harness is new. The front master cylinder was rebuilt and the rear replaced. They both work perfectly but as is the norm they leech just enough to peel the paint (see pictures). There is a small stress crack in the right side cover and a small scratch on the emblem of the ignition cover (see pictures). I have included a partial parts list of replaced OEM parts. I tinkered with this project for a number of years and now that it is done I seldom ride it. I don’t think I have put 100 miles on it since completion. Now I have to part with it to help pay for my recent knee replacement. My loss, your gain!
