    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

I recently picked up a Canadian model, 1980 gs1100es.I cant seem to find pictures or info on it. Is it a legit bike, or is it someones creation? Was going to slowly restore it, but if it is a franken bike I might as well keep it franken. I could post pictures if needed.
Thoughts?

Pictures would be good, would make identifying it much easier...
 
If you have the VIN number and engine number it will help...

the last letter in the model number denotes the year of that model
eg N = 79 T = 80 X = 81 Z = 82 D = 83 F = 84 G = 85 H = 86

it did start to get alittle confused when they intro'ed a 3rd letter indicating faired and unfaired models

eg ED 83 naked ESD 83 fairing EF 84 naked EFE 84 fairing
