The long awaited GS850 build is finally complete! I found this 1979 Suzuki GS850 for sale on Facebook Marketplace. It had seen its fair share of miles but it had a ton of life left in the tank! It was a 2 owner bike and both owners kept great service records on all the maintenance that was done. I removed everything from the bike and restored each part piece by piece. The frame and other components were powder coated and the tank and fenders were painted in BMW Isle of Man Green (C4G). This bike rides like a brand new machine now!

Yet another example of how a little or a lot of love can bring these bikes back to life. In this case - probably better than when it was new. Sounds amazing!!

Just drop it off in the driveway. I ride it when I get home from work. Thanks

I had a ‘79 GS850G just like that but without the hideous little seat, the dumb frame cuts and silly looking fender treatment. It was a fantastic bike and the stock seat was the best ever put on a bike IMO.

@ChicoBarz

Mannnn this was the best P4P restoration I’ve ever seen on KZfaq! Hands Down!

The GS850 has got to be one of the best utilitarian bikes ever made. It's soooo simple in virtually every respect and it'll run forever. My motto is always "the greenest tech is refurb tech". Well done, sir!

@avianfish8732

I don't understand why you didn't prepare the metal before spraying? No wet n dry , no undercoat??

75,742 views and only 1.7k likes, that is ridiculous. You turned this bike into art.

@privateer0561

I hope you adjusted the valves before you installed the cover/gasket. Glad you kept the stock airbox.

lol, I had to pause and back up... Yep, a Redstone Arsenal pass. On the south end of the base there is a road that went from the south end over to memorial parkway. I had an old GS 1000S in the mid/late 80s that I could hit the top end on on my way down that road. Exhilarating and horrifying at the same time.
