Been a while... hello!

[x01660]

I was on here a long time ago... in any case, here's my bike:



1983 GS1100E. BS36SS w/Dynojet and pods, factory pipe and wheels, stainless lines, LED headlight and aux lights.

The engine and carb tuning were done by our very own Bill (Chef1366), paint by me. Decals are on the way.

Just re-registering and seeing what's new.

So hello again, everyone!

I love the color! Welcome back.

Welcome back, your username sounds familiar. Did you by chance have a bike with counter shaft issues last time you were here?

Beautiful bike that will look even better when the decsls are put on.

 

[Guest]

Did he say he was putting decals back on it, or are you suggesting he do so?

Every time I see your Avatar, I think you're looking out of a space helmet.

Took me awhile, too, to realize it's an 1150 fairing.

Very nice colour...welcome back.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@dorkburger, you're right. That was me with the 1150 having those issues.

@posplayr and @Chef1366, come say hello! Don't be shy...

Interesting...pods but no 4-into-1. Frequently, it's the other way around.

How's she run?

Fantastic! Like I said, Bill built the motor and rejetted the carbs. In 1st and 2nd, the front gets super light around 7k, roll on from a stop is like its fuel injected (idle set at 1100), and I've had her at a speedo indicated 125 with plenty more oomph (I'm 6'2", 280 lbs). Midrange transition into the powerband is almost turbo like. She runs.

Gonna get some RS36's and a 4 into 1, cartridge emulators for the forks, a fork brace, and maybe some Ohlins for the rear. Then she'll be done.

Sounds exactly like mine.

This ain't fair!!! Your blue "83" GS1100E looks really great. My orig. dark, dull, drab, ugly, no contrast, blue "83" GS1100E looks terrible. Suzuki should have asked you to pick the color for that bike. I like orig. stuff on old bikes, but I would trade my orig. body work for yours, if you really wanted to. Seriously, it looks way better than orig., really nice. Welcome back

We'll be the judge of that. Show us a picture.

Welcome back! All that "go" with not a lot of "stop"... Even Bill uses the brake upgrade these days I think

He's got my 2 pot brakes and rotors from a 90s CB. Just gotta get them installed...

Sorry rob, don't know how or have the stuff for pictures. Mine looks like everybody else's dark, dull, drab, ugly, no contrast blue "83" GS1100E. Always remember, just my opinion. Dang x01660's looks good, now waiting to see it with the finishing touches

I appreciate it, guys. It's actually a rattle can job. Rustoleum Custom Electric Blue Premium chrome paint. But I took my time doing it.
