    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.

Thought I would share a picture of my 1982 Gs1100e. The engine is bored to an 1150, welded crank, lockup clutch, and 38mm Minkuni Flatslides.
It was just painted 2014 Ford Ruby red.
Lots of little detail work still to do.

Very cool 'go fast' parts. Nice corbin, bet you can really plant yourself with that one. Anything done to the suspension? and welcome to the site.
 
Welcome to the site, rh.
Nice looking semi-sleeper.
I bet you will be surprising a lot of other bikes with the power of your GS.
 
I talked to my buddy who did the paint. it's actually a base, tinted clear, and then clear.
 
Hello fellow GS1100E lovers. I'm about to reclaim a GS1100E I owned in the late 90's. The poor thing is in pieces now and I'm gonna do a full rebuild. I was thinking of extending the swing arm and ditching the stock rear shocks. I'm new to the forum, so any advice would be appreciated. I'll try to post a pic of me on the bike when I owned it in the 90's.

What is your goal in extending the swingarm? Are you planning on taking it on 1/4 milers?

I would not want to extend the swingarm for general riding as it will change the bike's profile, and affect its handling.

You should pop into the GS Owner's sub-forum and introduce yourself in your own thread.

Welcome to the GSR
 
No BigD, I'm not gonna get it on the 1/4. I just recently found out I had the opportunity to get the bike back and started looking around at some pics, really like the look. I don't see myself getting real aggressive on it like I did back in the day, so I may be ok with sacrificing a little performance for aesthetics. Still in the planning phase so nothing is set in stone, just kicking around ideas. Fairly certain it wont look stock when I'm done. I'll post a pic of a GS I found that I like. Thanks for suggesting I should do an intro, will do that now. I'll also keep a full thread of the rebuild and pics of progress.i300826402313.jpg.
 
You should really post your own introduction thread, not take over someone elses.
 
My apologies everyone, and azr. Didn't mean to step on any toes.. I'm apparently the newby I see so many b#tching about. Just glad to find the forum and will try to practice better etiquette in the future.
