And new to this fantastic site. It's a truly brilliant resource.

Are the any other late seventies / early eighties GS riders in Wellington?

I'm keen to meet and learn a bit more about them.

Mines a bit of a rideable work in progress but already love it!

Cheers,

www.suziparts.com.au for NOS parts. I've bought stuff (rings, gasket sets) from them for my GS1100GK. At the same time I enquired about other parts such as exhausts and they were able to supply the whole lot (4 headers and two mufflers, brand new) - a bit expensive but if you want new, they can do it

Maybe not quite the place, but this is a new site dedicated to mods for old beasts.
