We have a 1981 R80 G/S--and totally agree---with Ohlins rear, cartridge emulators, harrison 6 pot etc it really is the dogs. ps pic added--the remus is shortened 1150 GS and the link pipe is special. The ORIGINAL silencer is in good nick and tucked away safely. It also has the very expensive clock and rev counter pods--I must add that its my son's!--the crash bars and sidestand are also a bit special and do a proper job (from Germany)--its for riding, not looking at--he did the MCC Exeter trial on it a couple of years back.

I've had mine since 2001. It's definitely a keeper.

Makes me grin every time I ride it.
