Thanks for these videos. Just picked up an 80 GS1000E. It defiantly needs some work, though not sure if I'll restore it back to original or cafe it. Both are tempting. Also I'm a fellow Dave fan, met my wife going to a show at Alpine Valley 11 years ago.
Always glad to hear of people picking up a new project bike whether its a resto or rebuild! And thats awesome you met your wife at Dave show! I've wanted to see him play in Alpine Valley for a long time among other places. Pretty jealous you got to see that!
I see youre using a caliper to measure the nuts and bolts. 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. Wrench, deep set socket, shallow socket. Those tools will fit the majority of the fasteners on that bike. Nice work so far. Keep it up.

Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement. The more time I spend on it the better I'm getting with just eye balling what I need.
Keep it up man, these are great. I will resist buying a bike....
You shouldn't... give in and let's go ride together. 😀 Glad you enjoy them man!
I have been attempting to resisting buying a bike, but so far I am failing based on how much time I spend looking on craigslist :-p
Submit to the desire. 😀
I hate the music.
