I have a late model of the trunk and familiar with an earlier one. Stock is bare. I don’t know why I never thought of it. Keep it!

You are correct! My information was given to me by an employee at I bike shop when I was buying tires last. I assumed it was true because I had lost track of him and Carol through a grieving web site. Thank you for the correction. My apologies to Craig and company. Don’t believe everything...

When I ordered my lowers kit, even though is specifically for my/ our bike, it did fit at all. The lower is a 2 part assembly. As I understand it, the shiny side is the same for all variants. The inner part is not! I had to do a lot of cutting and fitting to make it work. Also, I take mine off...

I found something that may be of help. An installation manual for the WJ4. I think I was wrong when I said mine was also a WJ4. It was actually a Windjammer SS, which is exactly the same. Just a name change in 1979 from 4 to SS. Here’s the link below. Craig has passed, but the website is...

I have a WJ4 mounted on an 80 GS1000G, which I believe is the same frame as yours. I bought the bike new and installed the fairing at that time. That was 42 years ago, so this is the best I remember. The headlight brackets have to be taken off. All the wiring connections in the headlamp was...

Well, I ride with friends with CB’s and they have new bikes. Can Am & HD! But they have factory CB setups that are wired to the helmets. The Can Am doesn’t have an option yet for BT, but I think HD does. I elected to go Bluetooth and it works great. What I did is get a device - SR10 from Sena...

Wow, you guys are starting to worry me about these regulator issues. That's what makes forums like this so valuable. I went to the GS Resources pages and read a major article about this problem. Also, many articles at different sites and all saying the same thing. I had posted my bikes...

There is a "step" or ridge on the rear pads that marks the wear point. It can be seen through the inspection port or looking from the rear of the caliper. Worn pads would allow the fluid level to also get low and during hard breaking, you may have pushed air into the system. Also there is an...

Learning curve! My '80 GS1000G lost its rectifier and I bought an aftermarket, which was probably not a good decision. I did not get the voltage I should have for charging and after contacting the supplier, they sent me another one. On a whim, I decided to solder the first one to get rid of the...

FWiW, I've been really happy with Continental for several years and put a set of ContiGo's on last year and they are great in the wet . Going through WV, I dragged the center stand on my GS! The rear is a 130/90x17 and I see a 140/80 is available, buy I don't think in would fit. The 130 is...

When I bought my 80 1000, the dealer had two - one in black and the other in blue. I choose black, but later had buyers remorse. I really like that blue! Anyway, my previous bike - a 74 GT 380 (two stroke) had a 6 speed and that worked well. But at around 77, the government changed the national...

Good price. You should be happy with it! Ride on!

The instructions say to tell about yourself. So much, so little time! I'm the original owner of a 1980 Suzuki GS-1000G shaft drive which I have never thought about selling! It needed a lot of work after setting in my garage for several years when I was ill. Things are better now and after...

Bought one through Vetter A couple of year ago, but I see you can't do that anymore. Actually, when I ordered, it was redirected to Slipstreamer.com, which seems to be the manufacturer, which I ordered from. They even sent screws and clips! And thats changed now, you have to go one of their...
