Thanks all for the kind words and welcome. The LS is getting a slow makeover subsystem by subsystem though it's in pretty good condition overall, but yes I agree, the bikes are pretty nice. The GS is getting sold here soon as I'm making the final move toward adulthood and getting rid of the oil head for another airhead: a PD or a GS that I'll turn into a PD.
Thanks again for the warm welcome. See you on the tech article pages shortly as I'm struggling with a bizzarre electrical issue that I'll baffle you all with shortly. Rick at Motorad Electrik and I have been going over the symptoms but I'll get a post together in the next couple of days.
