Luggage & rack for ‘80 GS850G wanted

    Dear folks:

    I’ve got a 1980 GS850G that I am really enjoying and I have finally reached the point where I would trust it on a longer trip - so, I’m searching for some hard bags (Vetter etc.) and the correct bracketry in which to “pack my trash” for a weekend away.

    I’d also love to score a luggage rack (the kind that mounts on the rear shock studs and points aft).

    I had a rear rack on my ‘79 GS850G when I was a boy but that bike was sold long ago.

    Above is my ‘79 GS850G - with the type of rear rack I am looking for. BTW - that was real “sport touring” - 1980s style!

    I live near Windsor, ON but I have a US postal address for shipping - happy to receive offers.

    Please PM me if you have some bags or a rear rack to sell!

    Pete

    Hi Peter ; I have a rack that came off my `80 GS750L . Front shock mounting looks the same & has an adjustable rear backrest. Located in Whitby ,but I do attend CVMG Swap Meets so we could meet up there if interested. $ 80

    Hi All:

    Thanks so much to those who contacted me - I really appreciate it.

    I have found a nice set of Krauser bags and the correct rack for my bike, so I am all set.

    Kind regards,

    Peter
