    GS1100G New petcock not sealing

    Thanks for the replies. Thing is i ordered the parts from the dealers part finder (part number: 09168-06023) so a bit surprised that the washers they sent didn't work. Also used a green scotch-brite to clean the surface before putting things back together. Anyways, I will try some dowty...

    GS1100G New petcock not sealing

    Hey gents, Old petcock was weeping from around the tank and also through the bolts and also it was internally leaning, so I bought a brand new one from a Suzuki dealer(Came with new O-ring gasket). Also bought the gaskets that go on the bolts. Thought this should be pretty straight forward but...

    Front mudguard for 1982 GS1100G question

    Thank you mate and yeah internal fender mount bracket will be a bit hard to find here in OZ but hopefully will source one out soon. The forks are a larger diameter on the GK and also the forks are wider so a brace might be hard to find. Probably will find some aftermarket one though. Cheers

    1983 GS1100GK Aussie barn find

    Yeah mate. Bike spent most of it's life in fairly dry conditions and pretty temperate weather between New South Wales and Central Victoria. Not one bit of rust on the frame and pretty clean inside the pipes as well. ​

    1983 GS1100GK Aussie barn find

    She's coming along well. Only side covers and seat are still missing. Also keep on changing my mind about turn signals but that is easy to sort out(round or square)... Thinking I might try and fabricate some bespoke side covers as prices on ebay are just too steep and they are not easy to find...

    Front mudguard for 1982 GS1100G question

    Finally found a GSX 1100 KATANA front guard that fit nicely. It's some kind of plastic so not sure if it was after market. Put some primer on it for now before finishing it off properly in due time.

    Front mudguard for 1982 GS1100G question

    Indeed. I do have a 1983 GK and the front forks are wider but I think if you insert some spacers and use a 'G' mudguard, it would work fine on a GK

    Front mudguard for 1982 GS1100G question

    I'm located in Melbourne Australia mate and almost impossible to find any parts for these bikes locally so trying to find any fender that might match online. There is a Suzuki GS450S fender in good nick on Ebay from an OZ seller so just asked him for some dimensions to see if that can work.

    Front mudguard for 1982 GS1100G question

    Any idea if a Suzuki GS450S front mudguard would fit on a GS1100G please? Seems like they have different front wheel rim size from what i can find online.

    1983 gs1100 gk seat alternative

    Thank you Burque73 I had a feeling that an 850 or a 1000 seat would fit. Found a few on ebay but shipping to Melbbourne Australia is so expensive... Will keep an eye out and see how it goes. Cheers

    1983 gs1100 gk seat alternative

    Hi everyone, I'm restoring a 1100gk into a 1100g and i am missing a seat so just wondering if there are any alternatives to the factory seat. I already have a 1983 GS1100 and the seat works on the gk when i try it on but thought maybe there is a cheaper alternative before going and buying...

    Carburetor removal

    Many years late to the party ... @JTGS850GL​ comment above got me through while working on restoring my 1982 gs1100gk. Exactly as described and very simple in hindsight. Just loosen the nuts around the curved piece to give some leeway to the cable, move the spring around Carb 4 to the left and...
