Motorcycle Restoration - Suzuki GS850

[@asya9493]

850G's are built like trains, one of the best bikes I ever had. Good to see a complete strip down with no half measures. 👍

[@Infektedcustomz]

Man that seat had me worried. Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!

[@BayCityRestorations]

This bike is going to get the full treatment!

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

nice bike deserves some tender love and attention bravo

[@calebbirkhimer5110]

Thank you for posting this video man! I’ve been sweating thinking about how to get the motors out of both my GS850s

[@garryburns6659]

Great job👍😎

[@TheRealSkeetman]

Loving the channel! Your K100 build has me set on choosing it as my first project bike here in the next year. Keep up the awesome content!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I appreciate you watching! You wont regret a K100 :)

[@arwinconstantino8522]

great video mate.

[@danielburgess7785]

I had a GS650 L that was my sweetie. Easy to work on, lovely to ride.

[@ACECafeBikes]

This is so exciting!!! Its going to be great!

[@BayCityRestorations]

Yea buddy! Joining the GS850 club 😁

[@Ohidk91]

Ah yes, another bay city restoration build. Looking forward to it! Maybe another style like the BMW K100? 😋👀👀👀

[@BayCityRestorations]

😎 I promise it will be of the same quality! Appreciate you watching!

[@markhowlett8070]

Great ‘job sir

[@lucianoperezgaimberan2380]

Looking at the minister of defense sticker, I would go with a military design for the new build! Great bike selection BTW!!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I love looking into all the old registration stickers. Lets you get a glimpse into all the places its been over its lifetime. I think a military design would look great on this bike!

[@TiagoHenrique92]

Good job man! A brazilian fan here.

[@BayCityRestorations]

All the way from Brazil! Appreciate you watching! 🙏🏻

[@Eight20]

Good work buddy! it's looks pretty clean considering. Fingers crossed the rest of the build goes that smooth!

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thanks dude! I was just really happy the exhaust wasn’t seized on this one. It came off so easy compared to that crusty R80 lol

[@jameshisself9324]

Thank gawd that was the before pic. Seriously concerned here. 😜 Looking forward to the rest.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Haha this one will be epic! Appreciate you watching 🙏🏻

Thanks! Your video really good!

Great video buddy! I wonder what you will make of this build

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thanks Sid! Got some good plans for this one 💪🏻

[@T0tenkampf]

just picked up a 100 dollar 1980 GS(X)1000L...same leather key tag...premium!

[@BayCityRestorations]

Awesome!! Love a good deal 😁

[@bigbraintime8632]

How much time do we have to wait for part 2 ? Can't wait ?

[@BayCityRestorations]

I've been steadily working in the background. Don't have enough for a new video yet. I'm in the middle of moving to a new location so that has put a slow down on progress!

[@calebbirkhimer5110]

And hey one more thing! If you’re not keeping that OEM odo/tachometer I will absolutely buy it from you!!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I haven’t decided if I am going to replace the gauges yet. These ones are in really great shape and I like the look so I may refresh them and put back on. If I decide to go another route I will let you know.

6-10 over springer front end ..show how to chop and modify the neck to level it back out ..8-10"ape hangers..straight pipes ..

Why wouldn't it idle it properly..what did you do with it ..??

[@davidhowells-rl9li]

Total rebuild nto factory specs?

[@SKYMOTO1988]

Wow

[@calebbirkhimer5110]

Hey bud! Are you selling the exhaust system for this bike?

[@BayCityRestorations]

Yes, I still have it and plan on selling it. Email me at [e-mail]

[@calebbirkhimer5110]

I have two 81 GS850Gs. Headers 2 and 3 are separate pieces from 1 and 4 which obviously lead to the mufflers. Both mine have this “H” piece that connect header 2 to 1 and 3 to 4. It’s a s*** design because that “H” piece rusts easily and cracks like both of mine. Do you think when restoring I should look for these type of early model headers to mufflers? From what I understand they’d probably fit an 81. I’d actually like to leave one bike as stock as possible and have another customized. Thoughts on custom exhaust?

[@BayCityRestorations]

I am going to be installing a delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust system on this bike. I will do a full video on installation and film a sound comparison so that should help when making your decision!

[@calebbirkhimer5110]

@@BayCityRestorations you’re the man. Looking forward to it!

[@Dominic-s1c]

how much for a 80-89 gs1000

[@waldi2302]

I don't know why but I hate twin shock rear ends. I would try to fit a mono shock rear end and keep the kardan. Smaller tank, clip ons, single seat, big round headlight and keep ist clean as possible.

[@mattyzimm123]

How in the hell do you know how to put it all back together again? I could manage to tear one apart but would be completely lost putting it together again.

[@BayCityRestorations]

A lot of videos and pictures! And the service manual helps too lol

[@ianrandell9763]

What about a R100R roadster customised ?

[@BayCityRestorations]

If I can find one at a good price I would love to build one.

[@ianrandell9763]

@@BayCityRestorations l haven't been able to find part 2 of the GS 850 Suzuki

[@BayCityRestorations]

It’s on the way. I’ve been in the process of moving which has slowed down the progress on the 850.

[@terrytrocki3501]

I am a huge BMW fan. Been all over the world on my GS. Question, do you sell these after your done? Or do you just add them to your collection....Awesome channel after a crazy day at work this always unwinds me. Keep it up

[@BayCityRestorations]

I appreciate you watching! I love my BMW’s but this deal was too good to pass up. At the moment I just build these bikes for myself. I usual keep a rotation of 5-6 bikes so once I get over that amount I sell the one I ride the least.

[@rodcurrieclassics8102]

Hi there. These are a really handsome bike from stock ( and the brat/scrambler thing is so ugly) and everything can be had to put it back to original quite cheaply on Ebay so that'd be my choice.

[@thesighbored]

That seat looked so dodgy! 😅

[@BayCityRestorations]

😂 It was hanging on by a thread

[@hans-jrnmortensen5032]

Hi! Restore it back to original! This is terrible! I had a GS 850 back in 1979-81! The best bike I ewer had! Sorry for my bad english!😊All the best! Hans-Jørn, Denmark!

[@quintonbottoms5766]

I liked this but you gotta talk if you want to have a decent production quality. Not a ton, just enough to explain a few things

[@The9meister]

I think you should build something nicer than you are starting with

[@BayCityRestorations]

It will get there!

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

That rear end though.... 🤮

[@BayCityRestorations]

It will be getting a whole new setup that I’m excited to show!
