Hello everyone

I'm new to the gsx, in fact it's been years since I had a road bike, my other bike is a drz400 which I've had for years and I love it to bits
I was given the gsx1400 from my dad who inherited it, it was a lot different from what I'm used to but I've wanted one for15- 20 years but after 6 months I was out on her when a 4x4 pulling a horse trailer pulled out in front of me which I hit square on the side
My bike he's just been written off from the insurers so I have bought another frame for it with reg documents but I'm still in need of a few parts, this is why I'm on here
I know owners clubs are great for information and finding parts
I'm looking for a set of clocks and a fuel tank to start with, if anyone can help :1400spray: :1400spray:

ADMIN UPDATE: The bike that was damaged was a 2003 k3 model and the replacement frame acquired is from a 2001 k2 model

Gidday Andy & welcome to the forum.  It'd help if folk knew where you're situated.  Think you might be in UK.

Good luck with the resto, lots of knowledge here, just ask or browse.
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Firstly


Second - glad that accident didn't bite YOU too bad.

Unfortunately the two items you mentioned - esp the clocks - are probably the two hardest bits to find. So patience is a virtue but if you come across any good ones don't hesitate for too long.

I have no idea what a fair price would be for those parts.
Sellers market I guess.

That ad is old. I contacted him some time ago about parts and he didn't have what I wanted and seems to have SFA, but keeps that ad going.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
