MGS strikes again 83 GL650I

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

MGS strikes again 83 GL650I

#1

Post by lt1 »

Found an 83 GL 650I for sales relatively cheap. It has problems with the rear shock &/or Pro-Link linkage and faded paint, but otherwise seems to be in okay condition. Hopefully the rear suspension won't be too much of a problem/pain to get up to snuff. Pics to follow before too long. :)

Congrats! There is a great write up posted here [url]http://ofapars-.webs.com/prolink.htm[/url] about rebuilding the Prolink mono shock.

Info on rebuilding the shock is here

I used basically the same info (including the amount of fluid to expell) for Eccles' shock and it seems OK after 4 years, something like 50,000 Km and all I did was clean it out, re-install the old seals and re-fill it with fresh fluid.
