I picked up this 1983 Gran Turismo last night for $80, and a bike that came as part of a package deal. It has the lowrider mounts so apparently they did have them earlier than 84. Love this bike, and I can't wait to clean it up and redo the wrap, saddle, etc. The saddle is very comfy, too bad it's all cracked up. Maybe a borwn B.15 and some Tan cork would liven it up some?,,,,,BD
