Hi there
About to embark on rebuild of my 81 GS PD and was hoping for some guidance and advise… She still pulls like a train and rides like a dream, but is showing signs of her age and needs to some TLC… Wanat her to last another 40yrs
Hoping for some guidance on good suppliers and service providers:
Thanks

Hoping for some guidance on good suppliers and service providers:
- Sandblasting/bead blasting/aquablasting – pre-paint prep?
- Auto-electrician
- Tank spray, decals and knee pads?
- New pipe headers?
- Electrics - Considering replacing the 40yr old loom with an Motogadget M-Unit – has anybody used and installed one of these? Are they as good as they look, and are there any installation challenges I need to be aware of? It seems they are not designed for old school switchgear?
- Bolt specification – what specification do I replace bolts with?
- Tank internals reconditioning - No issues with dirty petrol or anything like that, but have heard its wise to reline your tank? If so where can I get this done?
- Anodizing rims- is this viable and worth doing? If so where can I get this done?
- Don't have any plans for engine work, but what should I look out for when I strip her down to make sure this is the right call?
Thanks
