    82 gs1100e conversion with a 93 gsxr 1100?

    Damn that is nice looking! Mines the same color:). Are those wheels off a 93 gsxr1100 also? Is that the stock swingarm in the rear? Anything special you had to change as far as the brakes on the rear? So what does making new steering stops for these entail? Are those the triple clamps off the...

    82 gs1100e conversion with a 93 gsxr 1100?

    I can get a complete 93 gsxr 1100 for cheap right now and ive been thinking about doing the front end and rear wheel swap onto a 82 gs1100e. Will the 93 gsxr 1100 be a one for one swap? Any issues with the 93 gsxr1100 make it a tougher swap then say a 95-98 which ive heard is a one for one...

    Stock 82 GS1100e with radial tires on stock rims

    Radial tires handle better thats why anyone with a choice uses them. I dont think the GS rims care if its a radial or a bias ply if there both 140/80/17 do you? Im asking because i dont know but it wouldnt seem to make a difference. If a 140/80/17 bias ply is working great on my dads 82 gs1100e...

    Mikuni RS34 for 82 GS1100e with yoshi header and can?

    Now i just spoke to another company who said the RS36 would be the best but the RS34 would work as well, he suggested the RS34 would sacrifice some top end for more low end and midrange where the RS36 would do it all well. I am thinking the RS36 is probably what would work best but i wouldnt...

    82 GS1100E One header pipe got red hot out of the four
