Beyond gorgeous. Doesn't look dated at all and I love the silver bodywork with the deep red frame.

Thanks for the compliments, folks.
Turns out the carb issues were mostly related to putting on some cheapy air filter pods. Have since put on K&N's. Apparently they flow air different than the other kinds.
Runs strong, but now have a leaky cam chain tensioner. Seals are on order so should be in business in a week or so.

A MANUAL cam chain tensioner won't leak like that & is what you should have on it anyway. Ray.85GS1150E 83GS1100SD 83GS1100ES 82GS1000SZ 96GSXR1500DRAGBIKE 96GSXR1400DRAGBIKE 90GSXR1166DRAGBIKE 05SDG110PITBIKE & 8 QUADS!!! "Life is tough! It's even tougher when you're stupid!" John Wayne

What website is that please?

I left you guys all hanging, didn't I? Never posted up after pics.
Well, it's not quite after as I STILL haven't done the bodywork or gotten the seat recovered, but I did do a brake upgrade found on the GS Resources website.
And I've ridden it around here and there (less than 150 miles yet) so I guess it's kind of an after picture:
And one of my rehabbe'd brake master cylinder:
Thanks for looking!

I did a similar redo of my clutch and brake resevoirs on my 84 Ltd. I hope they hold fluid without leaks. I used watch mineral glass pressed into cleaned up original press in metal ring. I used clear RTV around edge to seal.
I see in back ground of pic you went a different way with your Pop-up's resevoirs.
