Pics of "E"'s?

[83GSrider]

Thats a Rifle fairing. My bike looks just like that except for the pipe. I think you can still get them. Try rifle.com I think it's called a superbike fairing.

!983 GS1100E.

Stiksave,

That looks to be an early generation R1 stock carbon fiber slip on. I have one myself. Like you I've drilled out the rivet and moved the bracket forward although, I think it would look better on the bike if it was still in it original position, maybe via a bracket extension off your foot pegs.

I'm curious if you've ever touched it down in a sharp right hand turn. Is that a Yosh header its attached too?

Wow, Bruce. A complement on my bike from you is truly an honour!:-D
I traded Dr. Hermanstein for a set of gauges. It was from a GS1150.

Yes, that is an R1 carbon fiber can. The mount is in the original position of the stock muffler. No I've never had the muffler touchdown while turning.
Yes it's a Rifle fairing. Still availlable.

another view of the exhaust.

I may be American myself, but I still get a kick out of part of Eddie Izzard's routine:

"You say 'erb' and we say 'herb'. Because there's a f***ing 'H' in it."

Okay, done hijacking my own thread.:-D

Actually, I'll justify the hijacking with this: Fantastic pics! It's amazing what can be done with a 20+ year old bike that doesn't involve a rigid frame and teardrop tank like this bike was originally destined for. Now, before I start getting hate mail or someone has a heart attack, that's not what I'm going to do now. I'm actually going for the "hot rod E" look now. Still gonna put a chrome front headlight on it, the original is fugly to me and it's missing anyway.

My 79 550 W.I.P. going to be somewhat of a bobber. Also has the 18" front. Clip ons and Savage shocks for 2'' lower in rear. Attempting to make seat pan and exhaust.
