Motorcycle Restoration - Suzuki GS850

- Опубликовано: 10 дек 2021
- We are back with a brand new build! I found this 1979 Suzuki GS850 for sale on Facebook marketplace and seller just happened to live 10 minutes down the road from me! The bike is in great running condition other than having some leaky carbs. The rear subframe was already chopped by the previous owner but other than that there doesnt appear to be any other modifications. Let me know in the comments what type of build you would do with this bike - cafe racer, scrambler, brat, tracker, highway cruiser? In this video I go through the process of completely stripping the bike down and taking the engine out of the frame.

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. 👍
Man that seat had me worried. Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!
This bike is going to get the full treatment!
Thank you for posting this video man! I’ve been sweating thinking about how to get the motors out of both my GS850s
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!
I appreciate you watching! You wont regret a K100 :)
nice bike deserves some tender love and attention bravo
I had a GS650 L that was my sweetie. Easy to work on, lovely to ride.
Great job👍😎
Great ‘job sir
This is so exciting!!! Its going to be great!
Yea buddy! Joining the GS850 club 😁
great video mate.
Good work buddy! it's looks pretty clean considering. Fingers crossed the rest of the build goes that smooth!
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
Good job man! A brazilian fan here.
All the way from Brazil! Appreciate you watching! 🙏🏻
Thanks! Your video really good!
Thanks for watching!
Ah yes, another bay city restoration build. Looking forward to it! Maybe another style like the BMW K100? 😋👀👀👀
😎 I promise it will be of the same quality! Appreciate you watching!
You have a cute dog ... 👍
Good stuff
Bratstyle 🔥
Looking at the minister of defense sticker, I would go with a military design for the new build! Great bike selection BTW!!
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!
Thank gawd that was the before pic. Seriously concerned here. 😜 Looking forward to the rest.
Haha this one will be epic! Appreciate you watching 🙏🏻
just picked up a 100 dollar 1980 GS(X)1000L...same leather key tag...premium!
Awesome!! Love a good deal 😁
Bought brand new one 1979 had three years got stolen absolutely gutted best bike I ever rode miss it so muçh
That sucks :( nothing I hate more than a thief!!!
🏋️👈 excellent my friend greetings happy weekend 👍👍👍👍
Waiting on part 2
Making some good progress on it. Hope to have another video out soon
@@BayCityRestorations Awesome, can't wait! My uncle got one laying around for me, going to pick it up anytime soon 🙏🏽
Great video buddy! I wonder what you will make of this build
Thanks Sid! Got some good plans for this one 💪🏻
Wow
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 ..
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
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.
And hey one more thing! If you’re not keeping that OEM odo/tachometer I will absolutely buy it from you!!
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.
@@BayCityRestorations please do!
How much time do we have to wait for part 2 ? Can't wait ?
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!
Why wouldn't it idle it properly..what did you do with it ..??
Total rebuild nto factory specs?
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?
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!
@@BayCityRestorations you’re the man. Looking forward to it!
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.
Hey bud! Are you selling the exhaust system for this bike?
Yes, I still have it and plan on selling it. Email me at baycityrestorations@gmail.com
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.
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.
A lot of videos and pictures! And the service manual helps too lol
What about a R100R roadster customised ?
If I can find one at a good price I would love to build one.
@@BayCityRestorations l haven't been able to find part 2 of the GS 850 Suzuki
It’s on the way. I’ve been in the process of moving which has slowed down the progress on the 850.
That seat looked so dodgy! 😅
😂 It was hanging on by a thread
15:51 bhahaha
😂
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!
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
I think you should build something nicer than you are starting with
It will get there!
That rear end though....
🤮
It will be getting a whole new setup that I’m excited to show!
