[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 131717, member: 3756"] I have no choice but to nickel and dime the repairs, since I'm all out of money. But I've had pretty good luck so far finding the right parts I wanted at super cheap prices thanks to eBay mostly. $5.50 cents for weber carb, $10 for rebuild kit, $35 for 83 foot pegs, $40 for vw carb and its rebuild kit, $50 for like new metal impeller water pump with front engine cover, $20 for handlebars, $9 for grips, $40 for progressive 412 rear shocks, $12 for side cover, etc... Now I need to find a good deal on a gl1000 chrome rear fender and maybe cb900 chrome front fender. I found progressive front springs for $50 new in box still avail but no money to snag them. :( I see a lot of cheap stainless brake lines but none with the right fittings so far. :( Need to sell some parts or other junk so I have money to finish it... Can anyone identify the seat on this bike: at 1:09 it gives a good view of it. gl1000: [url=https://youtu.be/Sr4GOnUPdq8]https://youtu.be/Sr4GOnUPdq8[/url] [/QUOTE]
