    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can someone post up a pic of their handlebars stock? I think mine have been changed over or rotated down? It does not feel right. Seems like they are a stretched out M shape. Cannot remember what they are supposed to be, bend and etc...
Thanks.
 
looks like they may have been loosened and turned up from what i can see from the pictures, are they black crome? they look stock near as i can tell.
 
They are chrome. I was thinking they were turned down and away somewhat maybe? Don't think they are the same ones that is on the pic.My camera is down or i could post a better picture.
 
Michael, those aren't the stock bars on your bike. They look like superbike bars, a little narrower, lower, and less of a bend than stock.
 
Thanks Jpaul, I knew something wasn't exactly right.8-) Back to Bike Bandit to add to my list.:lol:

Did the 83GS1100E have black handlebars or chrome from the factory?

Wow, I've got chrome ones on my 83, so obviously, they've been swapped out! They seem to fit the bike nicely, maybe they are from an 82??? I'd rather have black ones, guess I'll start looking for some!
 
my gs1100ez has black crome and same with my gs750ez, so is it black crome stock on 82 e,s or crome, ime so confused, caint spell either :)
 
This is the second 82E I have owned, both of these had chrome bars. So I am confused now also.:smile:
 
Here is a photo of the stock bars as they came on my GS 1100EZ in 82'

Oh well, I guess I will order some chrome ones from Bike Bandit.Thanks for the pics guys, I needed a up close shot anyway, trying to get the right run/kill switch.:-D
 
Just chatted with Bike Bandit.Seems Suzuki does not tell them which ones they have.Might be Black and might be Chrome?? I do not want to pay for something and it be the wrong color!! Sucks!! Have to go with aftermarket ones I guess.8-[ 8-[
 
I'd have to say that Denydog's bars are different dimensionally than Tornado's. Deny's look to have a longer rise.
