Thanks Mikey appreciate the reply
I’ll reiterate,my earlier comments,
You have restored a few bikes so not trying to teach you to suck eggs,.
I’ve just taken a good look at a 92 para gs,
Customer paid £7k plus from a dealer.
On closer inspection and later strip unearths the demons and bodges.
It won’t be a cheap bike when done.
Either buy cheap and restore properly,
Buy a restored bike from someone with a good reputation,
Or take your chance,
I’ve seen bikes with 15 k miles on with knackered (rust)cams due to standing,when fired up the Shiite off the cams goes through the oil pump and scraps that,the debris from that blocks the filter then the crank gets it..
Don’t want to be doom and gloom but ,,you need to know your stuff with airheads..
Just go all in and get one of these.....
That looks nice Tetley - what fuel tank is that?
It’s the Kalahari tank off my R80 Basic.

It’s the Kalahari tank off my R80 Basic.
... which is why it has Kalahari written on it. Doh!
Cheers Tetley, the bike looks lovely.
Epic work Mickey so what's the easiest way to tell the difference between an st turned into a g/s an a g/s are the engine numbers in a different range?
I think all the g/s and gs’s had the squarer, stronger covers from the factory but a lot have been swapped out for the rounded design.
