Hi tGSR
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that would have a set of crash guards in stock for my bike,all I can find on ebay and other places is crash bars for the Gs`1100 shaft drive.Also anyone know what years will fit my bike>?Any help would be great..Thanks
 
Pretty much the only ones that fit are the ones made specifically for the '82-'83 GS1100E.

I searched all over and found some in Canada, I'll have to see if I still have the information on them. Hopefully they will have more, at the time they had the chrome AND the black, I bought chrome for my '82 but I'm sure you'd want the black for your '83.

It might take me a couple days to track down the info, but also to let you know I believe it cost me around $120 total which included shipping.

I think they look great!

Wacky
Def nice looking..hope to get the same look.....alot better than the "Chips"style on ebay....
 
I happened to spot these today...NOS case guards for an '80 GS11OOE. Not sure if they would bolt on to the 82/83 without issues....maybe someone with both models can tell. Probably better to bide your time and snag a nice black set though....they do come up every few weeks. I got a brand new (old) set made by KG, that ended up costing around $100 with shipping from the U.S.

I looked through my e-mail and according to that I bought the guards in November of '08 and bought them through an E-bay member by the name of atyourservice33 out of Ontario Canada but unfortunately I checked and it shows that they are no longer a registered E-bay member.

Also according to the listing headline, it showed "ENGINE GUARD SUZUKI GS1100 & E 80-83 CHROME BRAND NEW!", so with this in mind, I guess that they will fit all four years.

Years ago when I bought my first '82, a friend had an '80 he had bought some guards exactly like the ones I have from Suzuki made for the model year '82 and they did not fit so he had to re-drill the middle mount hole in order to make them fit, after that particular '82 was stolen I bought his '80 and never changed those guards. If you buy some that have only two mount points, I would feel comfortable in saying they would fit but if they are a three way mount I would only buy them if the seller would guarantee that they will fit an '82-'83 "E".
