Well I went and got another GS, late 2005 with 75k miles and no service history, but it was cheap and came with a receipt for 1400 quid for a new clutch. Not long back from a week in Scotland, including two days of torrential rain , never missed a beat. Only issue I have is that it’s a bit tall, previous owner said shocks were ‘reconditioned’, but he had no paperwork. There’s red springs on them. Bike rides vary well, but sits higher than other GS’s that I have sat on. So I’m wondering if anyone has a pair of lowered shocks that they would be willing to swap for my apparently standard ones? Or sell for a reasonable price? I had a couple of nervous moments in gravelly laybyes in Scotland, life would be easier if the old girl was a bit lower. And maybe 50 kilos lighter, but we’ll not go there just now.
