The kettle was a 750...... I think this a later 4 cylinder 4stroke, Some had shaft drive? I don't know if I'm thinking of the GS 1000!

Kettles were 500cc I think, chain drive. GS1000's were shafties.

I'll get a pic next time I'm up the shop. It's my fathers, he's been struggling to find bits for it and is a bit undecided what to do with it. Either sell it or have a bit of fun and bobber/hardtail it??? It's not 100% original and has a gs 750 tank and seat I think.

Actually my bad I think it's a GL, not a GT. Thing I love about it is that it has the same indicator lenses as the LJ80. Think it's this model, looks different with the wrong tank and seat though. it's a shaft drive Luke :thumbup:

That's really cool in a retro 80's way. If he's selling it...PM me.
