GSA Light Overhaul

[Ash]

In Oct 10,i acquired an 03 1150 GSA,1 owner FSH,26K miles.
It was never my intention to buy another 1150,but i never got on with my 1200GS and this one fitted the bill-
small tank,
no ABS/servo,
no GSA panniers/racks
basically serviced yearly but untouched otherwise.
i bought it knowing that it needed a little " love " and paid accordingly.
Now the weather has turned,i can get into the garage and start.

looking good from above

A lot work .
I think i will clear coat the bash plate as i cant off road and can't be arsed to keep polishing it.
next up for polishing is my newly acquired GSA engine bars,i am aware of the debate about being made of chocolate but i think the Finnish a GSA off.

wait until it's finished
then i will drop it up to you
too be fair the 1100 with it's 5 speed box is better suited to the kind of riding you do most of the time.

 

[Ash]

Replacement cylinder head cover's and Stanton head gaurds fitted
as well as new plugs and oil filter [when i can get it off]
