Though I truly like a perfectly restored classic vehicle I might even like it more if not restored but kept in its original condition. Thus, you can almost read the history of ones vehicle. Details like a dealersticker, a driving-in inscription, an oil-mixture sticker, can really take you back in time.
My goal with this GS is to make it my dailydriver for quite a while. Because of this the scooter has got to be reliable. But then there is a problem, the original engine of a GS isn't reliable... And so, this might be seen as swearing, I will put a more modern engine in... I actually won't harm the frame and will build it in a way so I can always make it completely original again. So no problems if you ask me...
I started with preparing the frame, first I gave it an anti-rust treatment with owatrol, than putted the cables and wiring loom in, and I mounted the floor strips. I also placed a little sticker of Aral at the front.
How about a really nice sparewheel bracket?!
